Nevada Early Intervention Services (NEIS)
We understand the importance of early support for infants and toddlers with disabilities or developmental delays. Nevada Early Intervention Services provides essential support at no cost to families, offering specialized instruction, audiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and vision services. Our goal is to assist infants and children from birth to age three in reaching their full potential through information and education, helpful resources and family support.
Early intervention plays a crucial role in a child’s growth, helping them develop, learn, and manage their emotions in a positive way. We are here to guide families through these vital early years, ensuring a lasting impact on their child's healthy development.
If you are concerned about your child's development, the first step is to have your child referred for evaluation and assessment. You can refer your child directly to an Early Intervention program or you can have your child's physician or another professional make the referral for you. You will be assigned a service coordinator who will help you through the process.
To learn more about services for infants and toddlers provided by the Aging and Disability Services Division, please contact an Early Intervention Office near you.

What are my rights and why are they important?
Rights protect your family and child. All families enrolled in early intervention programs in Nevada have the same rights. Your rights within the early intervention process begin as soon as you are referred to a program and continue as long as you and your child participate in the early intervention program. The IDEA, Part C law gives families’ rights. You can find more information about these laws at the Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center.
