What is Family Support?

Each family involved in early intervention has access to a variety of resources focused on providing support.

Family Support activities are designed to:

• Build upon families' existing social networks and natural resources of support;
• Provide information to families on issues related to individual child development and family needs;
• Assist in parent to parent interaction;
• Encourage parent involvement in early intervention council activities; and
• Provide flexible funding to pay for items, equipment, or services that are a family priority but for which there is no other source of payment.
