The Early Development Network serves children ages birth through two years of age who qualify for early intervention services according to Nebraska State Guidelines (Rule 52). Services are provided at no cost to the family, are provided in the child’s natural environment (e.g. home, childcare) and are confidential.


Childcare and preschool providers can make a referral to EDN, but the parent ultimately has to consent to proceed with any screenings or evaluations. It is important to make parents aware of any concerns that you have and to partner with them as they seek resources to address those concerns. If a child is between the ages of three and five, the family can contact their local school district directly to inquire about supports and services.


All Nebraska school districts are obligated to provide services beginning at birth for children who meet eligibility criteria and demonstrate a need for early intervention. To make a referral, use the school district contact numbers below:
