Service Coordination provided by The Alliance in Allegheny and Beaver Counties offers developmental support for eligible infants and toddlers up to three years of age. Service Coordinators work with families to complete evaluations, establish goals, monitor their child's progress, provide parent education, and connect parents to services and resources. Any child under the age of 3 is eligible for an initial assessment to determine eligibility. Ongoing eligibility is determined by evaluation results, diagnosis, or certain risk factors. Parents or guardians in Allegheny County can enroll their child by contacting The Alliance directly or using this electronic referral form. Parents or guardians in Beaver County should contact Beaver County Behavioral Health at (724) 891-2827.
