Our Services
Early Intervention
Early Intervention (EI) in Massachusetts is a statewide, family-centered, developmental service. Thom Child & Family Services offers the earliest possible intervention and support for children birth to three years old and their families. Children can be eligible based upon developmental delays, identified disabilities, or certain birth or environmental circumstances that can put development at risk. Early Intervention services are provided in a child’s natural environment. Regular visits with Early Intervention providers can occur at home, at childcare, and in other community settings.
Parents as Teachers
Thom Child & Family Services’ Parents as Teachers (PAT) program provides free, voluntary home visiting services for eligible families with young children in the Greater Lowell area. Parent educators partner with families to support child development, strengthen parent-child relationships, and connect families with helpful resources and supports.
Medically Complex Care Consultation
Medically Comple Care Consultation Programs (MC3s) provide consultation, family support, and community-wide workshops and training in Massachusetts. Eligible children must be enrolled in a certified Early Intervention Program and meet one or more of the following criteria: the child has extensive medical and/or healthcare needs, complex care needs, or multiple disabilities.
