Where do services occur?
Kindering will provide services in the setting that is most convenient for your family and most impactful for your child. We can provide services in:

• Your home
• Child care or preschool
• Stepping Stones Toddler Preschool at Kindering
• In-clinic appointments

What about fees?
Kindering receives limited state, federal, and school district funding toward the costs of Early Intervention services. We also bill private insurance and Medicaid for therapy costs. Parents are responsible for applicable deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance.  Donations from foundations, individuals, and United Way help support the availability of Early Intervention for all families.

Services are available regardless of a family’s ability to pay.

Should I be concerned?
This prescreening chart is a quick, organized way of helping you recognize possible problem areas in a child's vision, hearing, and development. The chart will help you to look at the whole child. You will be watching for the child's development in the areas of thinking skills, social skills, listening and talking skills, and activity skills.

How do I get started?
Getting started takes only a phone call. Call and ask to be directed to our intake line.
