SPACE COAST EARLY STEPS (SCES)


We provide services to infants and toddlers, birth to age 3, with developmental disabilities or

delays.  SCES helps families build on their child’s individual strengths and provide supports to

meet the child’s uni
que needs. Services support​ children in their communities where they live,

learn and play.  Funding for Early Steps is ​made possible through Part C of the Individuals

with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  IDEA is a federal law that assists Florida in providing 

family centered early intervention services.  Federal funds enhance state and local resources.

Early Steps works closely with the Department of Education, the Agency for Health Care 

Administration, and with other community 
providers to ensure the most effective ​early 

intervention services possible.  
Our vision is to ensure that families with infants and toddlers

that have special needs achieve their full ​potential in the context of everyday relationships, 

activities, and places.   Our mission is to promote and improve the knowledge and strengths of 

families and caregivers to 
​enhance their infants and toddlers learning and development.
