The Kennedy Krieger Institute's Child and Family Support Center and the Baltimore Infants and Toddlers Program have partnered to provide outreach, training and service in the Baltimore City Latino/Hispanic Community for young children who are eligible for Baltimore City Infants and Toddlers' Services.
The first three years of a child's life are the most critical time for learning. To assist families in focusing on a child's developmental needs and capitalizing on his or her natural ability to learn, Baltimore Infants and Toddlers Program has a family-centered system of early intervention services for young children who may be experiencing a delay in development or who have a diagnosed condition that has a high probability of delay.
An early intervention service coordinator at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, who speaks Spanish and is familiar with the Baltimore Latino Community, provides assistance to families in securing early intervention services in areas of the child's and family's identified needs.
These services may include:
- Service Coordination
- Family education, counseling and support
- Special instruction
- Speech pathology
- Audiology
- Occupational therapy
- Physical therapy
- Psychological services
- Medical services for diagnosis
- Health services related to other early intervention services
- Other services may be available as appropriate
In addition, the program offers training in "Providing Services to Spanish-Speaking Baltimore" to provider and community agencies who wish to learn more about working with this population.
