Early Intervention Services Coordination

Early Intervention Services Coordination covers Region 29, defined as, the City of Norfolk and the Norfolk Public School System.  Service Coordinators help families with infants or toddlers zero to three years of age who have a disability and who qualify for special education through the public schools.  Early Intervention is supported through the collaborative efforts of the Nebraska Department of Education and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services as "co-lead" agencies and through the participation of the Nebraska Department of Health and Public Institution and the Nebraska Inter-Agency Coordination Council.

What is Early Development Network Services Coordination? Services Coordination means a central contact person, known as the services coordinator, is assigned to each family.  Services Coordination helps families of children with special needs below age three:

Why is Services Coordination needed? Nebraska families of children with special needs have found it difficult to locate needed services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and then to coordinate the services with so many providers involved.

Nebraska families asked the State Legislature for assistance by allowing services coordinators to set up teams of the family service providers to work together.

Services Coordination:

Who is Eligible for Services Coordination: Eligible families are those with an infant or toddler below age three who has a disability or developmental delay and qualifies.

Year round services coordination is provided.

There is no cost to families.

How Can Families Apply? To request Early Development services for your child or to refer a child in your area, call the number located on this website for the Early Development Network Program. With prior parental permission, referrals may be made by anyone who suspects a developmental delay in an infant or toddler.
