On Saturday, March 5, Early Childhood Specialist Nina Lublin, RCSN Founding Director Tondra Lynford, and several RCSN families were among the 100 + invitees to “Toddlers with Autism in NYC–A Public Policy Roundtable on the Challenges of Enhancing Early Intervention Services for Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder.” The event was held at Hunter College’s Roosevelt House, as part of an “invitation-only” conference coordinated by the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical College and Hunter College’s Center for Autism. The event was funded in part by the FAR Fund.

Rockland Child Development Services (RCDS) is hosting "Socially Speaking for Young Children with Autism & Special Needs,” a one-day workshop for parents of very young children with autism spectrum disorders and other special needs, and professionals who work with them.
It is never too early for families of toddlers receiving Early Intervention (EI) services to be thinking about services and programs for when their children turn 3 years old.
There are many conferences and workshops coming up that offer information, resources, and perspectives for people who care about the development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Follow the links below for more information and to register.
The NYS Early Intervention (EI) Program has been in existence since 1993. The regulations have not been changed in over 10 years. Some newly proposed changes to the state’s EI regulations will have a negative effect on infants and toddlers and their families who benefit from the services this program provides. At the same time, the 2010-2011 budget the Governor is proposing, including the introduction of parent fees, could have a serious impact on families’ abilities to receive EI services. Please read the information below from our partners at Advocates for Children, and take action as soon as possible.
Los Niños Services is one of the largest providers of Early Intervention services in NYC.
