The Early Learning Program (ELP) works in partnership with the Arizona Early Intervention Program to provide early intervention services to infants and toddlers (birth to age three) all over the state of Arizona who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired, or deafblind.

ASDB’s Early Learning Program (ELP) serves children, birth to age five, who are deaf/hard of hearing, blind/visually impaired, and deafblind across the state of Arizona. The goal of the ELP is to ease the transition from early childhood to preschool, and ultimately better prepare our youngest learners for kindergarten. Birth to three and preschool teachers work together to facilitate the transition from IDEA Part C services (birth to age three) to IDEA Part B services (age three to age five) to achieve this goal.

Our team of more than 75 teachers, speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and support staff, in addition to our contractors, work in concert to deliver high-quality learning opportunities to approximately 600 children and their families statewide. Our teachers are experts in providing data-driven services and supports that are shown to assist children in achieving age-appropriate milestones across all developmental domains. Seeing children achieve their potential is what drives this group of dedicated individuals.
