KPI's Early Intervention
Early intervention care is a critical support system for children with developmental disabilities from birth to age 3 and their families. Through our partnership with the Kentucky Early Intervention System (KEIS), we provide specialized services, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and developmental interventions.​
​
These services are offered in the child’s natural environment, typically at home, fostering comfort and encouraging family participation. KEIS, administered by the Department for Public Health within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, connects families to a network of community resources and professionals. This program is founded on the belief that early, tailored support enables children to thrive and strengthens the bonds within families and their communities.
