Right Start Development Information

We are committed professionals with over 20 years of experience working directly with children. Right Start Development knows what works. We understand children with special needs and we are here to help. The Early Intervention Program and its services are available to children 0-3 years of age who are suspected of having a developmental delay or disability. Early Intervention is a public program funded by New York State and country governments. All children must be referred to the municipality to access services; please call 311 to refer a child today. Services are free of cost to families but health insurance information may be accessed for reimbursement of services provided to eligible children receiving Early Intervention services. Eligibility for services is determined only by State-approved evaluators under contract with the NY EIP. If your child is found eligible, all services are identified in collaboration with the guardian and must be authorized by the EIP, who will arrange for service providers considering the needs of the child and family. When services are provided in a setting that require a fee, the guardian is responsible for paying any associated costs with access to child care or community locations. Right Start Development is approved as a provider of Early Intervention Program services and is under contract with New York City to deliver Early Intervention services.
