Guest guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I hope the child gets services before he turns 3. Sometimes Early Steps has required proof of residency like a fpl bill. This only delays services and is not permitted under the IDEA. They are also a time limit between when the parents are seen and when services begin.

They are located in North Palm Beach (just North of Okeechobee off I-95) but they may have a branch closer to Boynton. She should call asap as it usually takes a month before you can be seen and then we all know how long services can take to get started. Please feel free to pass on my number if she has any questions or needs any guidance.

But do they have the equivalent of an Early Steps program where the children get tested for free to get a diagnosis. I suspect he is somewhere in the spectrum.>> You will be hard pressed to find much.
