Application process
Call and ask to speak to a Service Coordinator. Basic information will be gathered and an appointment will be arranged to begin the process of assessment to determine if a child is eligible.
Fee
Most services are provided at no cost to the individual and/or family. Fees are based upon income and the individual or family is aware of all costs up front. However, all services can be arranged regardless of an individual's ability to pay.
Eligibility
A child referred to the program will receive an evaluation conducted by a trained professional who will assess all five developmental areas (cognitive, physical, social/emotional, self-help, and language/speech.) If the child shows a delay of 25% or more (in months) in at least one of the five areas, they are eligible for services. There are additional criteria based on informed clinical opinion and diagnosed medical conditions which have a high probability of resulting in developmental delay.

Agency info
Lycoming/Clinton Joinder Board
Comprised of two agencies: the Lycoming-Clinton Mental Health/Intellectual Disabilities Program, and Lycoming Children and Youth Services. MH/ID programs are mandated by the state to provide a variety of services to individuals with mental illness or intellectual disabilities. CYS programs are mandated by the state to guarantee the health, safety, welfare, and social growth of children and youth. Please note that agency services are identical across both counties with the exception of Children and Youth services, as Clinton County has it's own Children and Youth programming.
