If your child is younger than 3 years, contact the Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) at (602) 542-1000. A free evaluation will be conducted by a contracted psychologist and could possibly qualify the child for ongoing services.
If your child is 3 or older, your local school district will conduct a free evaluation. These assessments are accepted by the Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) to qualify the child for state-funded, home-based services. You may contact the DDD at (800) 352-8168 or by visiting www.de.state.az.us/ddd/. Private insurance companies often will cover a developmental screening, but consult your list of providers and obtain prior authorization, as needed. If you are in doubt, call the company's patient relations coordinator.
