Early intervention, IFSPs and IEPs, therapy waitlists, insurance denials, meetings where you feel outnumbered. This is where I break down how the system actually works, from the first phone call — before anyone has diagnosed anything — to the paperwork you’ll still be arguing about years later. Written by someone who has sat in those meetings and learned the hard way.
Early intervention ends at three. One thing becomes two, and nobody had put my son on the second list.
You do not have to earn help with a diagnosis. Early intervention starts before one exists.
