What to Do If Your Child Doesn’t Qualify for Early Intervention — or Loses Services in the New Model

Changes to Colorado’s Early Intervention (EI) program are on the horizon in 2026 and 2027, and while we believe in EI and have partnered with the program for over a decade collectively, our first priority is — and always will be — your family. If your child’s services are reduced under the new model, or they don’t qualify for the support you believe they need, you still have options. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to understand your child’s evaluation, monitor progress, and access resources both inside and outside the EI system so your child can continue to thrive.

Co-Regulation: Bring Calm to the Chaos

When we as human beings are “regulated” - our nervous systems feel safe, balanced, and ready to interact with the world as it is coming to us. We can have things that are regulating to us or dysregulating.
