Is a developmental delay the only way that young children can be eligible for early intervention?
No, it is not. Infants and toddlers can be determined eligible if they have a diagnosed physical or mental condition with a high probability of resulting in a developmental delay, or they can be determined eligible though the use of a documented clinical opinion. Preschool-age children can be determined eligible if they have a developmental delay, or if they have a diagnosed disability and are in need of special education.
