Find out what help is available, how you can enroll at FRA, about FRA's staff, about the NJ Early Intervention System (NJEIS) and about additional services offered by FRA. The first three years of life are extremely important in maximizing a child's potential. FRA is available to help you help your child who may be experiencing difficulty in moving, playing, learning, or communicating. We can assist you with concerns you may have about your child developmentally, behaviorally, or socially. It is our goal to provide parents with information, techniques, resources and services that can best help your child to grow and develop. FRA offers excellent comprehensive services for children and families in Monmouth County. The extensive experience of our highly qualified professionals can make a difference for your child and for your family, today … and in the future. Are you concerned about your child’s development? If you suspect that an infant or toddler is experiencing developmental delays, contact your county Special Child Health Services Case Management Unit, which serves as the single point of entry for all state-funded early intervention services (NJ Early Intervention System or NJEIS) in that county. For Monmouth County, call 732-224-6950. Or contact FRA 732-747-5310 if you do not wish to participate in the NJEIS, or to discuss any concerns you have and speak to a professional who can help answer your questions. What help is available for a Child? Highly qualified, skilled and experienced professionals from the early intervention program staff will visit your family/child. Sessions may be at home, in the community, day care center or any appropriate location. These individual, play-based sessions focus on encouraging skill development in your child’s area of need. Staff will explain the importance of the activities so that you develop knowledge about how best to help your child. All children learn through play. We want to make that possible for your child with very special needs too. How do I enroll
in Early Intervention
Services at FRA? All children who meet the developmental eligibility criteria for services as determined by the State of NJ Early Intervention Program System, and those families who choose to participate can then obtain services from a state approved vendor, with a minimal monthly cost share. If you are referred to FRA for these services, we will be happy to assist you. If you choose to participate in the NJEIS, your IFSP process will help you identify your child's and family's strengths and needs. The IFSP document will also identify the supports and services that will help your family meet the needs of your child. The IFSP will detail specifically who will provide services, when they will begin, how frequently they will occur and for how long the service will last. Who will help my child and my family? How do I find out more about the NJEIS? How can I access additional services at FRA? |
