Indiana Programs
- First Steps
Indiana's First Steps System provides early intervention for families which have infants and toddlers with developmental delays or who show signs of being at-risk to have certain delays in the future. Indiana's First Steps is a family-centered, coordinated system to serve children from birth to age 3 who have disabilities and/or who are developmentally vulnerable.
- Head Start
Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive child development programs which serve children from birth to age 5, pregnant women, and their families. They are child-focused programs and have the overall goal of increasing the school readiness of young children in low-income families.
