Hello Eileen! You should contact your county Help Me Grow to get started coordinating services. If your child should qualify for early intervention MRDD would provide the early intervention. I have provided both the links for you for your county. Help Me Grow will also transition your child to preschool if qualified at age three. Help Me Grow does not need a diagnosis for early intervention the child from birth to three just has to have a one month delay in speech or other areas to qualify. They will do a developmental assessment at no charge to you to qualify your child. http://www.ohiohelpmegrow.org/professional/providers/LorainCounty.aspx http://www.loraincountymrdd.org/serv01.htm Cahoon AUTISM FACTS 1 IN EVERY 166 BIRTHS INCREASE - 11yrs in OHIO OVER 23,000% FASTEST GROWING DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY $90 BILLION ANNUAL COST
