Early Intervention at Kidsource Therapy
Arkansas First Connection's Largest Provider: Early Support, Lifelong Impact
What Is Early Intervention?
Early Intervention is a federal program that supports children under 3 with developmental delays or disabilities at no cost to the family. In Arkansas, this program is known as First Connections. Funded through the state, these services are provided at no cost to families by approved providers like Kidsource Therapy. Eligibility is based solely on a child’s developmental needs—not on family income, insurance, or assets—so any child who qualifies can receive services.

Service Coordination
Kidsource offers Service Coordination as part of Arkansas’s First Connections program.
While this service is available statewide through the state program itself, Kidsource is an approved provider and offers it directly to the families we serve. Our service coordinators guide families through every step of the Early Intervention process—explaining available services, coordinating evaluations, and helping develop the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). They also connect families with trusted providers, monitor progress, and adjust supports as needed.
This role ensures that families receive timely, appropriate, and family-centered support in natural environments like the home or childcare settings. It’s about building strong relationships, empowering caregivers, and making sure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
