Speech
Our licensed Speech Language Pathologists provide home-based therapy for infants and toddlers. Early intervention helps set the foundation for successful communication and feeding as your child grows.
Early Childhood Intervention
The Warren Center Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) program helps babies and toddlers (up to their 3rd birthday) improve their abilities and accomplish their developmental goals. Our teams of licensed Therapists and Early Intervention Specialists (EIS) provide speech, occupational, and physical therapy as well as specialized skills training and comprehensive case management.
The Warren Center follows a parent-coaching model. While we are providing therapy, we encourage parents and/or caregivers to take a hands-on approach. We teach you techniques during the sessions that help you continue therapy throughout the week. We also coach you through life scenarios. We understand that every family is different and every child is different, so we create programs that are unique to your family’s situation.

Paying For Services
This is called the Family Cost Share. The amount a family pays for services is determined using a sliding-fee scale and is based on family size and income, after allowable deductions. No child or family will be turned away because of an inability to pay.
The following essential services are provided at no cost:
- Evaluation and assessment
- Case management
- Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) development
- Translation and interpreter services
These initial services help identify your child’s strengths and needs, as well as locate resources to meet those needs.
