Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia

The Commonwealth of Virginia’s Early Intervention System
for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities and Their Families

Physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals – Welcome!

Early intervention services are available throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia to support the development of infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities and their families. As a medical care professional, it is important for you to know about Virginia's early intervention system - the Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia - and the procedures for referring children and families to it. This site has been designed for physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals (including medical office staff, referral coordinators, et. al.) who provide and/or coordinate health care services for infants and toddlers (ages 0-36 months) and their families in Virginia.

Specifically, the site has been developed to:

	Provide an overview of the Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia;
	Inform the medical community about the availability of early intervention services in Virginia;
	Help medical professionals make referrals to the early intervention system quickly and efficiently;
	Introduce the types of forms used between the medical and early intervention communities; and
	Provide a way for medical professionals to ask specific questions about early intervention services in Virginia.

NOTE: If you have developmental concerns about a child over the age of 36 months, you can obtain referral information for special education services provided through local public school systems by clicking here.
