The Florida Early Steps Program is the state's early intervention system for infants and toddlers from birth to 36 months who have developmental delays or conditions that may affect their development. If you're wondering whether your child qualifies, how a referral works or what happens after an evaluation, you're in the right place. At A&E Mind, we work with families referred through Early Steps and help them navigate each stage of the process with clarity and confidence. Parents can request a referral themselves, and evaluations to determine eligibility are provided at no cost to families. Once a child is eligible, services such as speech, play and sensory support are delivered in everyday settings like home or daycare, with parents as active partners. To get started, you can download the Early Steps Referral Passport from our Documents page or contact our team with your questions.
