Family Testimonials:
RCDC's licensed team of educators and therapists work with families to build an individualized plan for every child with a developmental delay or disability that supports every member of the family.
Services are provided in your child's natural environment- where he or she lives. Natural environments include home, Learn & Plays, parks, libraries, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. There is no waiting list and never a cost for services. Funding is provided by local state and federal sources through Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (I.D.E.A.).
Developmental Screenings are:
Free Screenings and Evaluations are available to families and take place in a natural setting, such as the child’s home or community. At least two professionals meet with a family to gather information about how a child is developing and to determine if he/she is eligible for services.
-
Each child’s hearing, vision, and overall development will be screened by trained professionals.
-
RCDC screenings look at self-help, thinking, social, communication, and muscle development skills.
Eligibility Requirements:
-
To be eligible for services a child must show a 25% delay in one area or 20% delay in two or more areas
