EIDC (Early Intervention Diagnostic Center)

The Early Intervention Diagnostic Center (EIDC) Team services infants and toddlers from birth to three years old and their families in their homes or at the center.  We are responsible for:

• Following up on child-find referrals
• Completing diagnostic evaluations and assessments
• Determining eligibility for services
• Collaborating with families to develop Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) for infants and toddlers who are eligible for Early On or Michigan Mandatory Special Education (MMSE)

EIDC services include special instruction, service coordination and/or ancillary support, as needed.  A minimum of 2 hours of weekly services are provided in homes, center-based facilities, or community settings. The center classrooms operate eight sessions weekly (morning and afternoon) and provide learning experiences through play.  Learning classroom routines and interacting with other children and staff prepares our students and families to transition into typical early childhood programs. Parent support sessions are provided monthly to address developmental concerns and disseminate information regarding community activities. Transportation services to and from the center program are provided for families.
