Early On

About

The Dickinson-Iron District Health department pairs with other local agencies to provide services to families in Dickinson and Iron Counties.  Early On works with families of infants and toddlers, birth to age 3 who have developmental delay(s) and/or disabilities. Early On supports and partners with families to promote the development of their infants and toddlers in developmental areas, such as:


  • physical (reaching, rolling, crawling, and walking)
  • cognitive (thinking, learning, solving problems)
  • communication (talking, listening, understanding, gesturing)
  • social-emotional (feeling secure, able to calm, playing with others)
  • self-help (eating, dressing)


Early On emphasizes early identification and early referral to minimize delays and maximize developmental outcomes.
