So you have concerns regarding your child’s development…
what should you do next?

If your child is under 3 years old, BabyNet services are available to them! (Visit the DDSN page for children over 3)

  1. Complete BabyNet Referral. You don’t need medical professional to complete!

  2. BabyNet will contact you to complete an assessment across the developmental domains of Personal-Social, Self-Help, Cognition, Communication, Fine Motor, and Gross Motor. Based on your child’s scores the BabyNet Intake Coordinator will let you know whether or not your child qualifies for BabyNet Services.

  3. BabyNet Intake Coordinator will offer you a list of providers. If you feel like we would be a good fit for you and your child, we would love to work with you!

  4. We will receive the referral from BabyNet and will contact you within 2 business days of receiving that referral to set up our Initial Visit.

  5. Initial Visit will include an assessment of your concerns and your child’s developmental delays. Our EI will develop goals based off of your concerns and your child’s delays and will also assist in connecting you with additional services!

Your Early Interventionist will help coordinate BabyNet, Community, State, and Federal resources based off of your concerns and your child's needs.
