  Early intervention services are an effective way to address the needs of infants and toddlers who have developmental delays or disabilities. The services are made available through a federal law known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

In turn, each state and territory develops its own policies for carrying out IDEA and its requirements.
