Early Childhood Direction Center

One of just fifteen such centers statewide, the Early Childhood Direction Center is an information resource for parents who suspect their child may have a developmental delay. It is often a first step to link families to the services their children may need.

The bilingual staff can provide information to parents on how to have their child evaluated, and what services are available in the community. They can also give information regarding financial resources available to help with the cost of care. Professionals may also contact the Directional Center for assistance at 718-374-0002, ext 433.
