Early Developmental Support

CAP Tulsa’s FREE early childhood education program connects families with early intervention services for children who have or may have a developmental delay or disability.

All children are unique and grow at their own pace. A child with a developmental delay may need extra help as they grow, when compared to children their own age. A child can experience a delay in the following areas:

• Thinking and learning
• Speech and language
• Emotions and behaviors
• Motor skills and movement
• Self-care and independence

If you see signs that your child may be behind in any of these areas, they may need an evaluation by a medical professional or psychologist to determine if a delay exists.

How can CAP Tulsa help?

CAP Tulsa’s early childhood education programs provide children with learning experiences that address all developmental areas. CAP Tulsa works with children in inclusive learning environments with activities designed for their individual developmental levels. This lets them learn from each other as they strengthen their own skills.

Inclusion specialists work alongside families as they navigate whether early intervention services are appropriate for their child. Services may include, but are not limited to:

• Education plan for each developmental milestone
• Referral to early intervention services
• Collaboration with classroom teachers and early intervention providers to support your child’s developmental needs
• Advocacy skills support
• Guidance with transition to Pre-K and Kindergarten
