This program provides free family support, case management, information, referral and advocacy services to County residents between the ages of birth and 21 years who has a developmental disability.

Infant and Toddlers Program

The Infants and Toddlers Program is an early intervention program that serves families with children under three years of age presenting with developmental delays or disabilities. Research-based, early intervention services are coordinated based upon the needs and priorities identified by the family. Services are proved at no cost to the families.

Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program

In partnership with the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI) and Rebuilding Together Baltimore, the Lead Poisoning Prevention Program:

  • Provides early identification and intervention for children at risk for and exposed to environmental lead
  • Provides case management for children with an elevated blood lead level to assure that appropriate education, home assessment, nutritional counseling and medical follow-up are provided
  • Provides lead hazard reduction services
  • Educates target communities on the dangers of lead-based paint hazards
  • Engages communities in how to create, access and maintain greener, healthier, lead-safe housing
