Makor’s Jumpstart Early Intervention program is a valuable resource for parents of children aged 0-3 who exhibit signs of developmental delays. Jumpstart addresses a broad range of developmental delays in the communication, physical, social emotional, cognitive, or adaptive areas. These services are provided by the New York State Early Intervention Program at no cost to the parents.
Jumpstart provides a full range of therapeutic services including but not limited to special instruction, ABA, speech, occupational, and physical therapies. You can choose to have sessions at your home or at our warm, child-friendly, state-of-the-art center.
Getting started on the process of Early Intervention can be overwhelming. At Jumpstart we make it easy for parents to access services.
Our knowledgeable service coordinators guide families through the system. They are available to answer questions, provide support, and ensure that each child is seen by a highly qualified therapist.
Our team of professionals provides assessments in the areas of Special Education, Speech, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Nutrition, and Psychology.
Jumpstart’s range of intervention services includes Special Instruction, Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Nutrition.
Jumpstart specializes in helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, with focused ABA programs that help children improve skills and maximize their potential. We work individually one-on-one with each child to bring out his or her best. For children who may require therapy or services beyond age 3, Jumpstart offers a unique advantage. As part of the Makor Network, we can facilitate seamless integration into continued age-appropriate programming.

The NYCEIP is a public program for infants and toddlers (0-3 years) with special needs. Children with diagnosed conditions that lead to developmental delays, or children without diagnosis whose developmental delays are serious enough are eligible for the EIP. To refer a child to the EIP in New York City call 311.
If your child is found eligible for services by an approved multi-disciplinary evaluator, you, county (NYC) staff and other team members will develop an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) to help the child and the family. EI services in the IFSP and authorized by the county (NYC) are provided at no cost to the family.
The county will arrange for the services and choose the provider based on the needs of the child and family. The child’s health insurance will be used to cover some of the costs. All other costs for EIP services will be paid for by the county and NYS. EIP services are provided where it is best for the child; home, center, day care and community setting. The EIP only covers EI services, not day care or other fees charged by community settings. Jumpstart EIP is approved by NYS DOH and has an agreement with NYS to provide EIP services.
Jumpstart is hiring qualified therapists and teaching staff. Our employees enjoy a supportive administration and a wonderful work environment. Please submit the form below to apply.
