Welcome to Children's Services!

ERC provides services to children from six weeks to five years of age through our Early Intervention Programs and in our Child Development Centers located in Fayetteville, Farmington, Springdale, Siloam Springs and our newest center which will open in Huntsville in the summer of 2012.

The Early Intervention Program serves children from birth to age three. Therapies are provided by a certified teacher and developmental specialist to help each child reach their developmental milestones and to help parents participate in the development of their child. Speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy are provided as prescribed by a physician and are offered in the home or in the ERC Child Development Centers.

The Child Development Centers serve children from six weeks to five years of age who have been diagnosed with a developmental delay or disability.  These include prematurity, cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome or seizure disorders, among others. We provide habilitation, speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy in a preschool setting with a state-approved curriculum. The mix of children with and without disabilities in a preschool setting prepares all of the children for a life in a community filled with diversity.
