BabyNet is South Carolina's interagency system of early intervention services for families who have infants and toddlers, birth to three years of age, with developmental delays or conditions associated with developmental delays. Children may be eligible for BabyNet if they are learning or developing slowly. Eligible children are served regardless of family income or nationality.

BabyNet matches the special needs of infants and toddlers who have developmental delays with the professional resources available within the community. Services are provided in everyday routines, activities and places relevant to the life of the family. Anyone (a parent, doctor, caregiver, teacher or friend) can make a referral by calling the referral phone number listed below. The earlier you get help, the better. Early intervention makes a difference!

BabyNet services are provided in accordance with Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) serves as the Lead Agency for BabyNet.
