The KIDS FIRST Early Intervention Program provides support and therapies to any child from birth to age three who is demonstrating a 25% delay in one or more areas of development.

KIDS FIRST has staff with extensive training and experience in pediatric physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. Our teachers are trained in special education, infant and child development and early childhood education. We also contract with the Central Intermediate Unit for the services of a hearing impairment teacher, a vision teacher and assistive technology services and devices when needed by any of the families. Therapists provide these services in the child's home.

The focus of KIDS FIRST is the belief that the parents are the best possible resource regarding their child's development. Services are built upon the needs and concerns that families identify as priorities for their child. We work together with the family to develop and maintain a supportive relationship to help each child reach his or her potential.
