Educational and Developmental Intervention Services (EDIS)
As a department of the U.S. Naval Hospital, EDIS offers help to children with special needs, through federally-mandated Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) programs and non-IDEA services. The mission of EDIS is to maximize the potential of children who are identified or at risk for delays by providing strategies to assist their development and independence. EDIS promotes family-based care, closely involving parents in the development of service plans. The EDIS staff members represent a variety of fields that includes: Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Psychology, and Early Childhood Special Education. There are two programs within EDIS: Early Intervention, for children from birth to age 3, and Related Services as part of the DoDEA schools, for students from ages 3 to 22. Services are provided in the least-restrictive, natural environment (i.e. home, CDC, etc.) for Early Intervention, and in the school for Related Services.
Children with disabilities, through support of programs like EDIS, have the opportunity to fully develop their physical, social, emotional, communication, and cognitive potential. Today, these children are achieving higher levels of education. EDIS aims to further the development of children with special needs, bridging the gap between them and children without disabilities.
