Who We Are
Rainbow Early Intervention is a private non-profit program that was formed in 1982, by H.A.T.S. an agency for mentally challenged adults. Rainbow was originally known as H.A.T.S. Child Development Center as a full day center-based program. Our servcies are primarily in natural settings at this time with families/caretakers actively involved. Our goal is to encourage children, from birth to three, to reach their full potential. We hope to help each family and child discover how to learn, experience and enjoy their world.

What We Do
Children in the program learn through an activity based play in a variety of settings. Our play is centered around different areas of development: cognitive, language, gross motor, fine motor, social, and self-help skills.

Services
We strive to serve the families at their most convenient time and in the most comfortable setting. We provide services in the home or daycare settings. There are a variety of avenues to learning which include:

• Developmental Activities
  • Sensory Intergration
  • Music and Circle Time
  • Language Based Activities
  • Creative Hands on Art
• Field Trips
• Family Activities
• Informative Meetings
• Outdoor Adventures

All activities are geared to the child's capabilities and hope of being appropriate and independent.

Other services provided, include: physical therapy, consultations, vision and hearing screens, equipment loans, and transition to other programs.
