Hocking County Early Childhood Department

Hocking County Early Childhood Department We offer two of Ohio's Help Me Grow programs:
Early Intervention and Home Visiting. Our Home Visiting program is an affiliate of
Healthy Families America.

Our programs serve children up to their third birthday. The Early Childhood Department of the Hocking County Board of Developmental Disabilities offers a variety of supports, resources and services to expectant mothers as well as children age birth to eight and their families. All services offered by the department are at no cost to the family. The following programs are offered: Early Interventio

n (birth to 3), Help Me Grow Home Visiting (prenatal and birth to 3), Service and Support Administration to children who qualify (3 years to 8 years). The Home Visiting programs offer expectant or new parents with information, support and encouragement through a voluntary, high-quality home visiting service. By supporting the positive interaction with children in stable and stimulating environments, the Home Visiting program seeks to create a sturdy foundation for future achievement (visit www.helpmegrow.ohio.gov for more information). The first achievements last a lifetime, as scientific evidence strongly suggests that a child’s success is significantly determined by the quality of nurturing in the first three years of life. Early Intervention assists families when there are concerns about a child's development. Families are offered a comprehensive play-based developmental evaluation and assessment to help determine whether Early Intervention services are needed. Services available include access to an Early Intervention team of professionals including a physical therapist, speech therapist, occupational therapist and developmental specialist. Referrals for other needed services dependent on child and family need/interest are also provided. Service and Support Administration is available through the Early Childhood Department for children 3 years up to 8 years who are eligible for services through the Hocking Co. Board of Developmental Disabilities. For more information contact Michele Hipple at (740)385-2430.
