Early On

Early On® is a system of services for families of children 0-3 years, who have a health condition or a developmental delay.

The system includes a collection of activities, supports, services and resources provided by many different agencies and programs including schools, public health, mental health, social services and more.

Early On® helps you find the individualized support that your child and family needs. If an evaluation shows that your child needs help, we'll tell you how and where to get it at no cost.

Early On® is available to any Berrien County family with a child from age 0-3 who has a developmental delay or an established medical condition. 

A developmental delay is seen when a child’s rate of growth and learning is different from that of most children the same age.

A developmental delay may be in one of the following areas:

• Thinking
• Talking
• Hearing
• Seeing
• Moving
• Taking care of basic needs
• Responding to others
