What you do matters! Look at the life skills you are teaching….

💙 The Power of Connection Begins Early 💙

Did you know that everyday moments help build your child's brain?

When you talk, read, sing, play, and cuddle with your toddler, you're helping create strong foundations for communication, learning, social skills, and emotional growth.

Read a favorite book together Sing songs during daily routines Play and explore side-by-side Share hugs and smiles Celebrate little successes every day

These simple moments of connection can have a lifelong impact.

Early Intervention helps families support learning and development through meaningful interactions that happen naturally throughout the day.

Highland County Early Intervention helps children from
birth to age 3 learn, grow, and reach their goals.

Do you have concerns about your child?
Act early. We’re here to help! 💚

Ohio Early Intervention (EI) supports families with children from birth to age 3 who have developmental delays or disabilities. Services are provided in the child's natural environments, such as home, childcare, or community settings, to help children learn and grow through everyday activities. Anyone can make a referral if they have a concern about a child's development. [ohioearlyi...ention.org]

A referral may be helpful if a child is not meeting developmental milestones related to:
✅ Communication and language
✅ Movement and physical skills
✅ Learning and problem-solving
✅ Social and emotional development
✅ Vision, hearing, or other diagnosed conditions that may impact development

Making a referral is easy, free, and confidential. Visit OhioEarlyIntervention.org or call 1-800-755-GROW (4769) to get started. Anyone can make a referral, including parents, caregivers, healthcare providers, childcare providers, friends, and family members. [ohioearlyi...ention.org]

💛 Did you know? Spina bifida is an automatic qualifying diagnosis for Early Intervention in Ohio.

Children under age 3 with a documented diagnosis of spina bifida are eligible for Ohio Early Intervention because spina bifida is included on Ohio’s list of diagnosed conditions with a high probability of resulting in developmental delay.

That means families do not have to wait until their child shows a developmental delay before connecting with Early Intervention.
Early Intervention partners with families to build on their child’s strengths, support development, and encourage participation in the everyday activities that matter most to their family. 💛

Early support can make a difference, and families don’t have to navigate the journey alone.

🍎 Picky Eaters & Sensory Needs 💚

Mealtimes can be hard for littles! Children ages 0–3 may have strong likes and dislikes about foods, smells, textures, or how food feels.

Here are a few simple ideas to try:
✨ Take the pressure off. Let your child explore food at their own pace.
👋 Let them play! Touching, smelling, and squishing food can help children get used to new textures.
🥦 Try sensory play. Play with dry pasta, rice, water, pudding, or other safe textures.
🍓 Offer foods they know. Put a new food next to a food they already like.
❤️ Celebrate small steps! Touching or smelling a new food is progress too.

If you have concerns about your child’s eating, sensory needs, or development, Highland County Early Intervention is here to help!

Anyone can refer.
