WELCOME!

If your child is not walking, talking or behaving like other children of the same age, you’ve come
to the right place. We can answer your questions if you have any concerns about how your
child is developing.

Long Island Infant Developmental Program (LIIDP) is a private, nonprofit, home-based early
intervention and preschool program that provides services to children age birth to five years
with developmental delays. Developmental delay is a term used to indicate that a child is not
reaching developmental milestones at the expected times.

Did you know that some of the most important learning that will ever
take place happens by the time children are 4 years old?

That’s when most children learn to walk, to talk with other people and to explore the world
around them. The first few years of life are extremely important to the future growth and
development of your child. By learning more about your child’s growth and development,
you can take pleasure in your child’s growth, yet be aware of any potential developmental
issues or concerns.

different rates and there is a broad range of "typical" development. If you have any specific
concerns, always contact your physician before using any suggestion or treatment.

If…

• you suspect your child is not developing as he* should be, and milestones are
  not being reached as you thought they would
  
• your child has a specific diagnosed developmental delay or
  
• you just think “something isn’t right”

…it is in these situations that early help can make a difference.

*for the purpose of readability, “he” will be used throughout this website

LIIDP is here to help you make a more informed decision regarding
your child’s developmental needs.
