South Central Early Childhood Intervention Program Inc

About Us

The Early Childhood Intervention Program (ECIP) is a province-wide network of home and community based services provided to families with children from birth to school- age who experience or are at risk for developmental delays. ECIPs work to enhance child development, support families, and enhance community connections.
ECIP organizations share the vision that, “All families have the capacity
to meet the developmental needs of their children within the community of their choice.”
Children who are involved with ECIPs are often delayed in reaching age-appropriate, developmental milestones such as walking, talking, eating, maneuvering, playing or interacting socially.
ECIPs help children who experience developmental delays to reach their best potential. ECIP interventionists/consultants build relationships with families and assist them in working toward mutually-identified goals for their children and family.
? ECIP staff provide an important link between families and other professionals
? ECIP staff work collaboratively with child care providers, speech and language pathologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, physicians, early childhood psychologists, teachers, and school administrators, among others, to support achievement of family-centered goals.
? ECIP staff also support smooth transitions into school and other centre-based programs and services as needed.
