Educational & Developmental Intervention Services

The mission of Educational and Developmental Intervention Services (EDIS) is to fulfill the requirements of Public Law 102-119, directing the Department of Defense (DOD) to provide early intervention to eligible children and families on certain military installations in the United States and on command sponsored tours overseas. The goal of EDIS is to make sure that all children are ready to learn when they reach school age by providing services and support to eligible families who have concerns about their child’s development.
