Common reasons families are matched with an ITDS. If any of these fit your situation, ITDS might be the right starting point.
Your baby is behind in more than one area — motor, communication, feeding — and the list of specialists people keep suggesting feels overwhelming.
Your pediatrician, NICU team, or evaluator sent your child to Florida Early Steps — and ITDS is often the first provider the program recommends.
A single trusted specialist who sees your whole child, coaches your family, and coordinates the rest — rather than juggling multiple providers from day one.
You're not sure what's typical, what's concerning, and what to do about it. ITDS exists for exactly that uncertainty — and for the medical complexity that doesn't come with a roadmap.
ITDS is specific to babies and toddlers from birth through 3 years, delivered through the Florida Early Steps program. It's the single most common entry point into pediatric therapy for medically complex and developmentally delayed children in Florida.
ITDS is an early intervention specialty. When your child turns 3, services transition out of Early Steps — and we help plan what comes next.
Developmental delay, prematurity, genetic conditions, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, early signs of autism, feeding concerns, and children with complex medical histories.
Early Steps is designed around natural environments. Sessions happen at home, in the places where your baby's development is actually unfolding.
The clinical philosophy that runs through every TP ITDS session.
The strongest learning happens in the routines your baby already lives — feeding, diapering, bath, bedtime. We work inside them, not around them.
ITDS is coaching, not direct service. We teach you strategies, model them with your baby, and leave you with tools for the hours we're not there.
One specialist, one relationship, every developmental domain. That continuity is a feature, not a limitation.
Our Florida-credentialed infant-toddler developmental specialist team. Your family is matched with the right ITDS provider based on location, schedule, and clinical fit.
