How to access services:

If you have any concerns related to your child's development, you can always contact us at High Country Early Intervention (928) 777-9525. To directly refer your child for an evaluation, contact AzEIP 1st! (928) 759-5591. AzEIP 1st! will schedule an intake visit with you to discuss the need for a developmental evaluation/assessment for your child at a time and place that is convenient for you. Following this evaluation, it will be determined if your child is eligible for services under DES: AzEIP, DES: DDD or ADHS/AzEIP.

If your child is eligible under DES: AzEIP, a referral will be made by AzEIP 1st! to High Country Early Intervention. This will take place at the time of the initial IFSP.

If your child is eligible under DES: DDD, a referral will be made to the appropriate agency that will assist you in securing service for your child and family.
