The Greater Richmond ARC’s Infant and Child Development Services (ICDS) provides specialized rehabilitation services designed for children from birth through adolescence who are at risk for developmental delays, have delays in development, have a developmental disability, or suffer from an injury that adversely affects development.

On-site at ARC or off-site in the children’s homes or other community settings, ICDS staff assists each family to become more confident in caring for their special needs children, while helping each child meet his or her individual potential. Our specialized services staff consists of pediatric occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech & language pathologists, early childhood special educators and social workers.

Working with our team of ICDS experts, families will develop goals and learn techniques that are tailored to the unique needs of their child and the family as a whole.

ICDS supports children with special needs and their families so they can:

Develop gross motor, fine motor, communication, social and problem-solving skills

Participate with other children to enjoy typical childhood experiences

Enjoy a variety of home and community activities

Through partnerships with families, physicians and other community programs, ICDS supports children and families to reach their potential.
