Illinois
Early Childhood Intervention Clearninghouse: Growth & Development
Parenting a child can be a
challenge. There is a fine balance between hopes and dreams and ups and
downs. Beginning early to enhance your child's development has benefits for
you, your child, your family and your community. It is estimated that 2% of
all children born each year will have a disabling condition. Many of these
children will have speech and or language delays and disorders that may have
a significant effect on personal, social, academic, or vocational life.
Although some children will develop normal skills without treatment by the
time they enter school, it is important to identify those who will not.
Early identification of a disability or developmental delay increases the
chances for improving communication, learning and other important skills.
