The KidSCope Early Intervention Program provides an array of services for young children with or at risk for developmental disabilities and their families in Orange and Chatham Counties, North Carolina. Programs include:

Community Outreach and Consultation

KidSCope Outreach for Orange and Chatham Counties in North Carolina provides services to over 300 children, age birth through five, who have, or are at risk for, developmental, behavioral and/emotional difficulties. KidSCope is an early intervention program that provides specialized mental health services to these children and their families. Outreach is the core of the KidSCope Program and provides the majority of direct services to individual children. Referrals to the program come from parents, the Children's Developmental Services Agencies, child care providers, DSS social workers, pediatricians, public health nurses and others. The Community Outreach Program is designed to be comprehensive and responsive in nature. Interventionists meet children, families and child care providers in the most "natural environment”, such as home or child care setting. Main service components include special developmental instruction, play therapy for children, customized evaluation, individual counseling and education for families, technical assistance and training for caregivers, and case management.

Children's Learning Center

Located in Hillsborough, the Children's Learning Center is a 5-Star rated child development center providing year round child care for 26 children, age two to five, in two classrooms. The program operates an "inclusion" model for children who are typically developing and those with or at risk for developmental disabilities in a 50/50 ratio.

Services include educational/developmental activities, parent education, case management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, transportation, and before and/after school care.

Along with its 5-Star rating which is the highest rating available through the North Carolina Division of Child Development, the CLC is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Each of the two age-appropriate classrooms have a three to one student/ teacher ratio.

Child Care subsidy and a sliding fee scale are available to families. Click here for a copy of the enrollment application.

New Services Available in Orange and Chatham Counties
MMMMMMMMM
Due to a generous grant from the Children's Trust Fund, we are pleased to announce that KidSCope will be providing Parent-Child-Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to Orange and Chatham County families during this fiscal year. This evidence-based service is open to all families, regardless of insurance availability.

"Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an empirically-supported treatment for young children that places emphasis on improving the quality of the parent-child relationship and changing parent-child interaction patterns. In PCIT, parents are taught specific skills to establish a nurturing and secure relationship with their child while increasing their child’s prosocial behavior and decreasing negative behavior."
MMMMMMMMM
What type of families could be referred?
  • Children having behavior problems, ages 2-7.
  • Families seeking reunification.
  • Foster families wishing to have more therapeutic training.
  • Foster families adopting children.
Other families may be appropriate and may access this service on a case-by-case basis through our application process.
Parents will need to agree to approximately 16 weeks of therapy.
If you are a family who needs this service or know a family you feel would be good for this program, please call or email to discuss the application process. Feel free to forward this information to parties who might be interested.
