The Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) program at Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) provides services and support for families of infants and toddlers from birth to age 3 who have developmental delays or health concerns that may cause developmental delay. Through ESIT, participating families receive information and early support services from five local providers, and help setting up those services.
The ESIT program is part of a statewide system of early intervention offered by the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF).
