Early Intervention Programs

Where to Begin?

If you are concerned about your child's development, the first step is to have your child referred for evaluation and assessment. Below is Program and contact information.  You can refer your child directly to an Early Intervention program or you can have your child's physician or another professional make the referral for you. You will be assigned a service coordinator who will help you through the process.

Individual programs can be contacted for general information, however all referrals must be processed through the central referral line at (702) 486-9200. Each individual program has a maximum limit to the number of children that they can receive at a given time due to budget allocations. Therefore, a family’s option to choose a specific program is dependent upon current availability. When a child has been assigned to a program, the family and child must remain with that program. If a child’s case is closed and then re-opened, then it is opened back with the previous program provider. If families have concerns about services or their procedural safeguards, then they are encouraged to review the Parent Rights Handbook or contact the Part C office.
