Pediatric Therapies for Kids Under Age 3

Early Childhood Intervention (ECI)

The best time to improve a child’s ability to grow and learn is before the age of three. If your child was born with a delay, medical diagnosis, or you just feel like something is “off,” you may qualify for affordable, in-home services to help with your child’s development.

Any Baby Can offers early intervention services including occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, specialized skills training and medical case management. Parents are involved during visits, building their confidence and ability to work with the child. The family also gets help with things like insurance, doctors, school and other needs.

Healthcare Coordination and Respite

Comprehensive Advocacy and Resources
for Empowerment (CARE)

Life-changing events, like a child’s new medical diagnosis, can cause financial and emotional distress for a family.

Parents get connected to appropriate healthcare services, school resources, support groups and more. Together, we create an effective advocacy team to support the entire family to take on the challenges ahead.

Camp Grey Dove

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the whole family is affected. The child and their siblings may experience feelings of sadness, jealousy or guilt.

Any Baby Can offers a summer camp for siblings of children diagnosed with cancer or special health care needs. Campers benefit from meeting other kids who understand, as well as making new friends, trying new things, and “taking a break” from family stress.

Did you know?

1 in 6 U.S. children aged 2–8 years (17.4%) had a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. In 2022, 85.5% of the 65,584 children eligible for ECI services in Texas had developmental delays--this is an increase of 9% over 2021.

Support for women and children early on reduces family stress, long-term physical and mental health problems, time away from work, and financial costs to the family and health care systems.
