Early Intervention is a comprehensive program designed to help infants and toddlers (birth to three years old) who are experiencing developmental delays. At Kids on the Move, we provide therapy and support through essential services to help your child learn, grow, and thrive.
When you reach out to us, our professionals will listen to your concerns and conduct a full developmental assessment of your child — completely free of charge. If your child is eligible, they will receive individualized services tailored to their needs. Most services even take place in your home or other familiar environments where your child feels comfortable, ensuring that learning happens where they play, explore, and grow best.

Early Intervention is all about giving your child the best possible start. If you notice significant delays in areas like walking, talking, or interacting with others, these services can make a real difference in their long-term development.
Contact us today for a free, no-obligation developmental assessment. Our team will help determine if your child is eligible and guide you through the next steps.
Each child’s journey is unique, but we typically recommend staying in the program for at least a year to see the full benefits. Early and consistent intervention often leads to the best outcomes.
