Early Intervention Programs

Early Intervention Programs in Oregon

Early Intervention (EI) programs offer free educational services through the Department of Education. These services help babies and toddlers learn skills that usually develop before age 3, such as communicating through visual or spoken languages and cognition (learning, solving problems). For infants/children who are deaf or hard of hearing, EI helps assure your child will learn to communicate and develop language. The goal is for your child to be on-track as soon as possible, so starting EI right away is important.

Services for infants and children who are deaf or hard of hearing are usually provided by Oregon’s Regional Inclusive Services. They work in collaboration with local school districts, early intervention, families and community agencies to provide specialized educational support for children who need it.
