Serving Children……Serving our Community…..Serving the Future

The Children’s Services department focuses on supports for children and their families. This includes early intervention therapies through the Indiana First Steps system. We use individualized strategies to assist children at risk for or with developmental delays – helping every child reach his or her full potential.

To participate in the Indiana First Steps program, those children, ages birth to three years old, should fall in one of these three categories:

• The child is experiencing a developmental delay
• The child has a diagnosed condition that has a probability of resulting in a developmental delay
• The child is at risk of developing a delay if early intervention services are not provided.

Children may be referred to the system from their doctor, hospital staff, other social service agencies, or by the parent. To make a referral anyone can call 317.257.2229.

Sycamore Therapists will come out to the child’s home or other appropirate location to provide the therapies needed to help each child achieve developmental milestones.

• Speech Language Pathology
• Physical Therapy
• Nutrition Services
• Social Work Services
• Developmental Therapy
• Family Education
• Vision services
• Nursing
• Audiology
• Occupational Therapy
• Psychological Services

Therapists meet with the family and their service coordinator, to review the child’s service plan every six months to confirm that quality therapies are provided and appropriate interventions are being followed.

Therapists continue to educate themselves and improve their ability to meet the needs of your child. Individualized Family Service Plans are based on your child’s current developmental needs, no two therapy plans are the same.
