Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Early Intervention Awareness Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to designate September 2025 as Early Intervention Awareness Month in New York State, highlighting the critical importance of early childhood developmental services. The resolution emphasizes that children's first years are crucial for neural development, with more than 1 million neural connections formed every second between ages 0-3, and that children with developmental delays benefit significantly from early intervention services. It explains that Early Intervention services include supports like speech, physical, and occupational therapy for children under three with developmental delays, and notes that 74 percent of children receiving these services demonstrate greater than expected growth. The resolution also points out that the New York State Early Intervention Program, established in 1993 under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), is administered by the Department of Health, and expresses concern about a 27 percent decline in children receiving timely developmental services. By seeking to raise awareness, the resolution aims to help families understand and access critical services that can improve their children's health, development, and integration into family and community life.
