Texas Health and Human Services: Early Childhood Intervention Programs

Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) services in Texas provide crucial support for children from birth to 36 months who are experiencing developmental delays, disabilities, or have certain medical conditions that may impact their growth.

Children are eligible for these services if they have a medically diagnosed condition, such as a significant developmental delay in areas like social/emotional, adaptive/self-help, communication, motor, or cognitive development. Specifically, a 33% delay in expressive language qualifies a child for ECI services. Additionally, children with hearing or vision impairments, including those who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually impaired, are also eligible. These services are essential in helping children reach their full potential during their critical early years.
