Most states have a free voluntary Early Intervention Program available to families who are concerned about their child's development. In the State of Tennessee, this program is called TEIS and is part of the Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disability.
This program is brought to you by Shari Tidwell FNP at Family Practice Clinic.
