PGCCS has an Early Intervention Program in Apache Junction. The program serves children in Apache Junction, Queen Creek, and Gold Canyon. The program is free to children who are between birth and three years old and have an identified developmental delay or disability. The program is offered in the child’s natural environment, typically the child’s home. The levels of service depend on the needs of the child and family, and are typically scheduled on a weekly basis. Home visits with a developmental specialist consist of ideas, activities and support designed to meet your child’s unique needs and stimulate development. In addition, we offer monthly consultative therapy with a team consisting of physical, occupational and speech therapists, parents and the developmental specialist who will work together to develop a home program that can be implemented as part of the family’s daily routines and activities.

If you would like more information about this program or have questions regarding your child’s development, please call (480) 982.4516
