“Infants develop skills at their own paces,” an announcement of the program said. “The first three years are considered to be a critical development stage. The goal of New Jersey’s Early Intervention is to help parents or caregivers concerned about possible developmental delays.”

The presentation is part of the Ocean County Library’s Milestones in Neurodiversity & Literacy to Grow program, providing literacy-based services for the neurodiverse community, from birth to age five, through a Library Services and Technology Act 2022 (LSTA) grant administered by the New Jersey State Library, an affiliate of Thomas Edison State University.

Projects are designed to provide training or other literacy-focused support or activities for adults or children.
