Shirley Eves Center Early Intervention Program

Early intervention services provide crucial support for infants and toddlers experiencing developmental delays or disabilities. These services aim to address challenges as early as possible, maximizing a child's potential.

Parent Coaching Approach

We believe parents are their child's first teacher and know their child best. That is why in Early Intervention, our practitioners use our parent coaching method to give parents strategies, tools, and techniques to help them teach their child.

Service Delivery & Coverage

As an Early Intervention Program provider, the Shirley Eves Center connects families with qualified practitioners. Services are delivered in comfortable and familiar settings for the family, such as your home, a childcare center, or a community agency. We provide services to Cumberland, Cape May, Salem, and Gloucester Counties.
