Early Intervention

 

Did You Know?.... In Texas, legislation requires all health services professionals, including audiologists, to refer children under age three to Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) within two working days of identifying an infant or toddler with a developmental delay. To make a referral, call the ECI Care Line at 1-800-250-2246.
