Step 1

For a referral to be made call 1-800-289-7012 and leave a message.

Step 2

Someone from OIDD will contact you within a few days to complete a phone screening. If your child qualifies, you’ll choose an agency for intake, such as Building Dreams Early Intervention/Pathwise.

Step 3

OIDD will send the name of your child and your information to the provider you choose (sometimes this can take up to a week). If you choose Building Dreams Early Intervention someone from our agency will be in touch within 48 hours of receiving your child's information from OIDD.

Step 4

The provider you chose will collect information from you for an intake process that will be submitted back to OIDD. The agency will be a guide through that intake process.

Step 5

Your family will be notified by OIDD after being submitted if your child qualifies. If your child is awarded eligibility, OIDD will have you choose your provider again. You can select Building Dreams Early Intervention again if you wish to have services rendered with us. OIDD will then send that information to the provider.

Step 6

The provider, or Early Interventionist, will set up a meeting with your family to then create goals for your child and to discuss what services would be most helpful to you and your family.
