TEIS, an educational program for families with children ages birth through two years of age with disabilities and developmental delays.
In Tennessee, a child with a diagnosis from the list below, who meet the prematurity guidelines outlined below, or children whose evaluation results show they have a 25% delay in two developmental areas or a 40% delay in one area may be eligible for TEIS. A child may have a developmental delay if he or she is far behind other children their age in one or more of the five major skill areas:
motor (crawling, walking, using their hands to play)
communication (babbling, indicating wants and needs, talking)
cognitive (thinking skills including making choices and solving problems)
social (playing near or with other children or adults)
adaptive (taking care of one’s needs)
There is no cost for TEIS Services and they will see your child at your house or school. Once the child turns 3 they are transitioned out of TEIS. (Click the image above for more info)
