Early Development and Intervention Program

The Early Intervention Program is dedicated to serving children between birth and three years of age. Professionals provide specialized services and programs to enhance the development of infants and toddlers when there is a concern about how the child sees, hears, moves, talks, sleeps, and eats, and plays.

Developmental milestones allow caregivers to determine whether or not a child is progressing on target. Milestones for the first three years are:

  • At one year of age children should: make eye contact, turn their head to locate sound, follow an object with their eyes, reach for objects and familiar people, roll over, sit without support, use finger and thumb to pick up objects, and play games such as "patacake".
  • At two years of age a child should: verbalize wants and needs, speak in two to three word phrases, follow two step commands (such as, "get your shoes and bring them to me"), enjoy being read to, avoid bumping into objects, scribble, and climb up and down stairs.
  • At three years of age children should be able to: speak in a way that allows them to be understood most of the time, understand and follow simple directions, use three to four word sentences, ask questions, jump in place without falling, balance on one foot, and copy a vertical and horizontal line
Parents who have concerns about their child's development are welcome to stop by the EDIS Clinic, building 1526 at Wiesbaden Army Airfield, and complete a developmental screening questionnaire. Questions? Call mil 337‑6662 or civ (0611) 705‑6662.
