We want to give a big thank you to Puzzle Pieces and one of our very own providers for this great podcast episode on early intervention! ✨

To learn more about the Kentucky Early Intervention System (KEIS), visit healthdepartment.org/keis

NEW EPISODE: Early Intervention 101

Have concerns about your child's development? You don't have to wait for a doctor's referral to take the first step.

In the latest episode of the Puzzle Pieces Podcast, we're joined by Kim Johnson of the Kentucky's Early Intervention System (KEIS), formerly First Steps, to talk about the free evaluations and early intervention services available to Kentucky families with children from birth to age 3.

We discuss what early intervention looks like, how parents are involved, developmental milestones, transitioning to preschool and why early support can make such a difference.

One of Kim's biggest pieces of advice? Focus on your child's progress, not the delay.

If you're a parent, caregiver or someone who works with young children, this episode is full of helpful information worth sharing!
