The Early Intervention Program is funded and regulated by the NYS Department of Health and, in NYC, by the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH). Early Intervention Services, as designated in the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) and authorized by NYC DOHMH, are provided at NO COST to you. Health care coverage is not required. When child’s health insurance is available, it may be used by the Department to cover some of the costs.
