Early intervention help is often free
Every state offers support for kids under 3.
Every U.S. state has an early intervention program for children under 3. You don't need a doctor's referral to call.
Services are free or low cost, often based on what you can pay.
For kids 3 and older, your local public school district can do an evaluation.
Try this: If you're unsure, call anyway. Asking is a strength, not an overreaction.
