What is Early Intervention?
Early intervention is the term used to describe services and support that help babies and toddlers (birth to 3 years old) with developmental delays or disabilities as well as their families. Early intervention consists of multiple different services that may be available for your child if they are determined to have a delay in a specific area. The services may include speech therapy, physical therapy, developmental therapy, occupational therapy, and other types of services based on the needs of your child and family. Services are based on the need of the child and are publicly funded to help provide free or reduced cost for any child who meets the state's criteria for a developmental delay
Act Early
With brain growth and development being so rapid in the first three years of a child's life, with the child's brain being about 80% of its adult size by the age of 2, it is important to act early if you have concerns about your child's development.
Early Intervention services are crucial and can have significant impact of a child's ability to learn new skills and increase their future success in school and overall life.

The Autism Resource CenterThrough the support of The Coleman Foundation, The Autism Program, Illinois Department of Human Services, Hope Institute, and private donations; SRRC has been able to establish The Autism Resource Center. Since 2011, the Center has operated solely through local donations. The Autism Resource Center contains a wide variety of resources including visual supports, books, computer software used to create visual schedules, DVDs, games, structured teaching kits, learning aids, and other materials that address various issues affecting individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, their families, and the professionals with whom they work.
We currently have approximately 300 resources that can be borrowed for two weeks at a time at no charge. While we have several visual prompts already available, families and professionals can also create and individualize their own. They can be printed and laminated at no cost. We encourage you to visit the Autism Resource Center, which is open Monday – Friday from 9:00 to 5:00.
