Overview of Early Childhood Intervention


Children grow and learn important skills during their first three years. All families want their children to grow and reach their potential, but families of children with disabilities, or delays in development face unique challenges and need extra help.
(ECI) is an important resource for all families.

ECI goes to families. Our work is where babies and toddlers live, learn, and play. ECI staff and your family will be partners during these important first three years of your child's life.

ECI Staff focuses on your child’s strengths and encourages your family to do the same to help your child progress. ECI staff works with your family in making decisions about services that will meet your child’s needs. You will be involved in all assessments and intervention planning. All assessment and planning services are provided in the home or daycare at no cost to you. Developmental services are provided on a sliding fee scale for families whose incomes are more than 250% of the Federal poverty level.

Parents, friends, neighbors, physicians, health and human services agencies, or anyone who is interested in children may make referrals to ECI of North Central Texas, serving Tarrant, Parker, Palo Pinto, Erath, Hood, Somervell, Johnson, Ellis, and Navarro Counties. To make a referral, please call: 817-446-8000 (local) or 1-888-754-0524 (toll free) Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm.
