Early Intervention Program (EIP)
Individualized Support for Your Child’s Early Development
The Early Intervention Program (EIP) at Abilities provides services and developmental support for infants and toddlers under age three who are experiencing developmental delays or have diagnosed conditions that may affect their development.
As an approved New York State Early Intervention Service Provider, Abilities offers center-based programming, home-based services or a combination based on each child’s individual needs and Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).
Our team works with children and families to support important areas of early development, including communication, movement, social-emotional development, learning, independence and everyday skills.

Families who have concerns about their child’s development can contact their county’s Early Intervention Program to learn more about evaluation and eligibility.
Saratoga County families may contact the Saratoga County Public Health Department at 518-584-7460.
Early Intervention Developmental Play Groups
Learning, Growing & Connecting Through Play
Our Developmental Play Groups provide a fun, supportive environment where children ages 18 months to 3 years can learn, explore and connect with other children through play.
Designed for children enrolled in the New York State Early Intervention Program with a current Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), groups are led by licensed Occupational Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists and Special Education Teachers.
Using a sensory-motor and play-based approach, activities are designed to support each child’s individual goals while encouraging development in:
- Communication and language
- Social-emotional skills
- Cognitive and early learning skills
- Fine and gross motor development
- Adaptive and daily living skills
- Peer interaction and socialization
Children enjoy imaginative play, sensory exploration, arts and crafts, music and movement, books, puzzles, outdoor activities and gross motor play in our sensory gym.
With a low student-to-teacher ratio and supportive group environment, children have opportunities to practice new skills, build confidence and experience the benefits of learning and playing alongside their peers.
