# Therapy & Clinical Services — Early Intervention (Birth-6)

- Early Intervention services are available from birth to 6 years old. Services for 6+ are governed by the public school system — *[Mitch Kelly, Feb 2024](/sessions/20240218_Mitch_Kelly_Aiden_Project/notes.md)*

- Only 50% of children for whom early intervention is medically necessary actually qualify for these services — *[Mitch Kelly, Feb 2024](/sessions/20240218_Mitch_Kelly_Aiden_Project/notes.md)*

- When a family does not qualify they are given a brochure for [The Aiden Project](https://www.theaidanprojectkc.org/) — *[Mitch Kelly, Feb 2024](/sessions/20240218_Mitch_Kelly_Aiden_Project/notes.md)*

- The Aiden project works with clinics like KCDT and Playabilities to provide services for children who do not qualify for Early Intervention — *[Mitch Kelly, Feb 2024](/sessions/20240218_Mitch_Kelly_Aiden_Project/notes.md)*

- *A Night in Their Shoes* - November 2023 fundraiser for The Aiden Project. Look for updates for [next year's event](https://www.theaidanprojectkc.org/events). — *[Mitch Kelly, Feb 2024](/sessions/20240218_Mitch_Kelly_Aiden_Project/notes.md)*
