When you refer a family to Ability Builders for Children, you're handing them to a partner who treats your referral with the same care you do. We respond quickly, keep you in the loop, and handle the details — so the families on your caseload get matched with the right providers without the delays and dropped balls that slow everyone down.
Why refer to Ability Builders?
Because your families get more than a service — they get a partner. We move fast on every referral, match each child with the right clinicians (in more than a dozen languages), and bring care right into the home where kids are most comfortable. With two decades in New York's Early Intervention system, we know the process inside and out, so families never feel lost — and you stay in the loop the whole way. When you refer to Ability Builders, you're handing your families to a team that treats them with the same care you do.
See a child who could use a little extra support? Send them our way.
If a family in your care has a child under three you're wondering about, you can refer them to Ability Builders for Children in under two minutes. We take it from there — fast, warm, and at no cost to the family.
Built for the people who spot it first: service coordinators, EIODs, pediatricians, therapists, clinics, and early-childhood practitioners.
Quick to submit. Quick to respond. Every referral will be handled expeditiously and thoroughly and we'll keep you in the loop throughout the way.
