Frequently Asked Questions

If you still wonder if your child's skills are not on age level, check with developmental charts; if your child is several months late in developing the skills listed for his/her age, you can check with your child's pediatrician, your local elementary to ask about the team of professionals providing early intervention screening, assessment, and intervention in your local area, or with the Iowa Early ACCESS program. Early ACCESS is a partnership between families with young children, birth to age three and the Departments of Education, Public Health, Human Services, and Child Health Specialty Clinics. This program helps families and staff to work together to identify, coordinate, and provide services and resources that will help an infant or toddler to grow or develop. You can contact Iowa Early ACCESS the following ways: Voice 1-800-779-2001; TTY 1-877-686-0032; or contact us at contact@raising-readers.org.
