Description
Every child in California under 3 is entitled to early intervention services like physical, speech, and occupational therapy if they show signs that they need developmental support. Experts say getting these services early and in-person is critical for babies’ development, and that it can actually reduce the need for special education services later in life.
But many families aren’t receiving the care they need. KQED’s Daisy Nguyen explains why.
