Early Childhood Intervention contracts with community organizations – such as Easter Seals, Any Baby Can, and Texana Center – to provide life-changing therapies and services to babies and toddlers with autism, Down syndrome, and other disabilities and developmental delays.
By serving children during the critical first three years of life, a time of rapid brain development, ECI is highly effective in helping children learn to walk, communicate with their families, get ready to start school, and meet other developmental goals.
The Texas Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) Advocacy Coalition is calling on the Legislature to appropriately fund ECI during the 2025 legislative session to ensure infants and toddlers with disabilities get the support they need.
