Early Steps Program

Every child grows and develops at their own pace, but research shows that a child’s first three years are the most important time for learning. Florida’s Early Steps Program provides early intervention services to eligible infants and toddlers, from birth to 36-months, with developmental delays, disabilities and at-risk conditions.

We help families build on their child’s individual strengths and provide support to meet each child’s unique needs. Getting help early puts your child on the right path to learn and develop at their full potential.

Referrals can be made by anyone

Anyone can refer a child (0-3 years old) to Florida’s Early Steps program, including health care providers, parents and caregivers, family members, friends and others.

There is no income requirement to qualify for the program. Early Steps pays for services not covered by public or private insurance. Private insurance is only billed with parent authorization.
