A plain-language FAQ explaining how home-based Early Intervention and center/group-based experiences can work together to support the same goals, with research links for families.
These short quotes come straight from handwritten thank-you cards children and families have given to NYCRC. Shared with names removed and lightly edited for clarity, they offer a glimpse into how our programs feel from the perspective of the people we serve every day.
At New York Child Resource Center, we understand that parents trust us with the care of their most precious possession – their child. That is why we are committed to providing trustworthy and reliable services that always put the patient’s needs first.
Our team of licensed and certified professionals undergo thorough and hands-on training to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to deliver the best possible care to each child.
We take great pride in our track record of success in the Early Intervention program since 1993, and we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and individualized services that address the unique needs of each child we serve.
New York Child Resource Center, Inc. is approved by New York State and has a contract with New York City to provide Early Intervention services. Eligibility for the Early Intervention Program can be determined only by State-approved evaluators under contract with the municipality. If a child is found eligible, needed services are identified in collaboration with the parent and must be authorized by the municipality. The municipality arranges for service providers based on the individual needs of the child and family.
Services authorized through the Early Intervention Program are provided at no out-of-pocket cost to families, though health insurance may be accessed for reimbursement. When Early Intervention services are delivered in child care or community settings that require a fee, the parent is responsible for any associated costs with access to those settings.
