							         Early Intervention Specialty Service Providers
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health contracts directly with approved
agencies to provide services to children with low incidence conditions. Children must be
enrolled in certified Early Intervention programs in order to be eligible for these services.
The Early Intervention program in which the family is enrolled makes the referral for
these services.

Children with a confirmed diagnosis on the autism spectrum are eligible for autism
specialty services.
