What is EIDT??

Our Early Intervention Day Treatment (EIDT) program is designed for children who are struggling to meet developmental milestones. Children enrolled in the EIDT program attend our program daily where individualized skills are addressed in a enriched classroom setting. EIDT services are available for children 0-5 years old. In the Summer, KidSPOT offers EIDT services for school aged children on a case to case basis. EIDT services are offered at all of our KidSPOT locations.

    • For ages 3-6, a score of at least two standard deviations below the mean in at least two areas: motor, social, cognitive, self-help/adaptive, or communication on the Battelle Developmental Inventory test (BDI) and 25% or greater delay on the criterion referenced test
