Every child is unique.

As a parent, it’s natural to wonder about your child’s development—especially when comparing them to other children.

While most differences are perfectly normal, sometimes delays in key developmental milestones could benefit from Early Intervention services. If you're concerned, Kids on the Move (KOTM) is here to help guide you, providing support, answers, and personalized care for your child during these critical early years.

An innovative approach and expert guidance from KOTM.

How Do I Know if My Child Needs Early Intervention?

It’s not always easy to know when a child’s differences are a natural part of their development or something that requires support. Early Intervention can be a great resource if your child is experiencing delays in areas such as:

Physical development
Vision and hearing
Feeding
Social and emotional development
Communication and language
Learning, problem-solving and play skills

Remember, you don’t have to navigate this alone. If you have concerns about your child’s progress in any of these areas, let’s connect. The earlier we can identify developmental needs, the greater the impact Early Intervention can have.

Who is Eligible?

Children residing in the Alpine School District under the age of three with a significant delay in one or more of the delays above. Many children with a diagnosed medical condition also qualify for services.

Getting Started with Early Intervention

Once your child is accepted into the Early Intervention program, you can expect the following:

comprehensive in-home evaluation

Discovering where your child excels and what they find challenging are the first steps in helping them develop new skills. The initial evaluation will be tailored to meet your family's needs, as we will administer a nationally accepted test and observe your child in your home. With your permission, we may ask you to collect any relevant information from other professionals, such as your family doctor.

health screening

A registered nurse will visit your home to conduct a health, hearing, and vision screening as part of the overall assessment. Once we understand the status of your child’s health, hearing, and vision, we can determine eligibility for Early Intervention and, from there, design the services needed.

Individualized Plan for Your Child

With the help of your Early Intervention team, you, the parent, can develop an Individualized Family Service Plan. This plan includes goals for your child and family, as well as the services and support needed to achieve them. Goals might involve reaching a developmental milestone, improving interaction with siblings, finding parental support, and more!

Continual Communication and Evaluations

Your Individualized Family Service Plan will be reviewed and updated every six months. Our hope is that you feel supported throughout this process.

We’re ready to take the first step!
