Since 1979, the Parent Education- Infant Development (PE-ID) is an Early Intervention Program for infants and toddlers with developmental delays aged birth to 36 months who live in the City of Fredericksburg or the Counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, and Stafford. PE-ID is a program of the Rappahannock Area Community Services Board (RACSB). PE-ID is the service provider for the Infant & Toddler Connection of the Rappahannock Area, part of Virginia's outreach program to increase awareness of early intervention services throughout the state. Developmental screenings and evaluations to determine Part C eligibility are provided at no cost to families.

The program believes all children have the right to reach their fullest potential. The purpose of the program is to provide help to parents of infants and toddlers with developmental delays so further problems can be avoided and delays minimized.

The professionals of the PEID team support families in addressing developmental delays, feeding and sleep concerns, social, behavioral and sensory concerns, and the early identification and intervention of autism.
