MCH programs work collaboratively internally to provide services to infants, toddlers, and families. Children First is the single entry point for all child health programs, including Babies Can't Wait (BCW). BCW provides Early Intervention (EI) Services for children with significant developmental delays or categorial diagnoses. These programs provide a family-centered approach with wrap-around services. The Developmental Specialist determines eligibility for services by completing a series of screenings and assessments. Service Coordinators connect parents with support groups and counseling. The family receives a full evaluation with a Developmental Specialist and Speech Pathologist or Physical Therapist at no cost. The BCW program utilizes the Primary Service Provider (PSP) model for service delivery. This model allows families access to a team of therapists and developmental specialists.The BCW programs have worked to improve early literacy in infants and toddlers by partnering with the Reach Out & Read Initiative.
