The Aidan Project strives to provide access to early intervention therapy services for every child with a developmental delay.

Notes from February 18th - Mitch Kelly - The Aiden Project

  • Lee Ann Britain Center
  • Kansas Early Childhood Developmental Services - Apply for early intervention services here in KS
  • Missouri First Steps Early Intervention - Apply for early intervention services here in MO
  • Early Intervention services are available from birth to 6 years old. Services for 6+ are governed by the public school system
  • Only 50% of children for whom early intervention is medically necessary actually qualify for these services
  • When a family does not qualify they are given a brochure for The Aiden Project
  • The Aiden project works with clinics like KCDT and Playabilities to provide services for children who do not qualify for Early Intervention
  • Southern Nevada Disability Resource Guide - Thanks to Jennifer and Zach for telling us about this. We should compile notes from our speakers to create a similar resource for Kansas City.
  • A Night in Their Shoes - November 2023 fundraiser for The Aiden Project. Look for updates for next year's event.

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

— Psalm 139:13–14
