Does Your baby need help? Call First Steps

Always listen to that little voice in your head. My son (at 15 months) was not trying to talk and he screamed all day about everything. I asked his doctor at the 15 month check up and said "Don't worry he is the third child they often talk late. We will talk about that when he is 18 months if you are still worried." Well I was worried so I went out on my own and asked First Steps for help. I was right he has a 50% hear loss due to fluid on his ear. He will be receiving help from First Steps starting Monday. If you feel your child has any type of delay call First Steps. http://chfs.ky.gov/dph/firststeps.htm

What Is First Steps

First Steps is a statewide early intervention system which provides services to children with developmental disabilities from birth to age 3 and their families. First Steps is Kentucky's response to the federal Infant-Toddler Program (ITP) established by Public Law 99-457 Part C. First Steps offers comprehensive services through coordination with a variety of community agencies and service disciplines. First Steps is administered by the Department for Public Health in the Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

Why Provide Services?

Typically, children who participate in early intervention experience significant improvement in development and learning. Children with developmental delays or conditions likely to cause delays benefit greatly from First Step services during critical developmental years.

Services and support also benefit families by reducing stress.

Early intervention services can decrease the need for costly special education programs later in life by remediating problems early in the child's development.

Who Does First Steps Serve?

First Steps serves children from birth to age 3 and their families. Child eligibility for the program is determined two ways:

  1. By developmental delay - A child may be eligible for services if an evaluation shows that a child is not developing typically in at least of five skill areas: cognition, communication, physical, social and emotional or self-help.
  2. Automatic entry - A child may be eligible if he or she receives a diagnosis of physical or mental condition with high probability of resulting developmental delay, such as Down Syndrome.

How are First Steps services provided?

First Steps is available in all Kentucky counties. Services may be provided in the home, at child development or other designated centers or in a clinical setting, depending on the needs of the child and family and the availability of services in a given area.

How Can I Learn More About First Steps Services?

Anyone can refer a child for First Steps services by calling 800-442-0087.

Referrals are directed to teams at the district Point of Entry offices that hlep children and families access needed services. Services are available to any child and family who meet developmental eligibility criteria, regardless of income. A family's participation in First Steps services is always optional.

Free Chick-Fil-A Mondays in January

Chick-Fil-A in Lexington has a FREE breakfast item each Monday in January. The staff at Chick-Fil-A are so friendly and happy to pass out the free food. Today I took two of my three kids and we all enjoyed the FREE chicken and saved over $8.00.

Great Free gifts for your kids Birthdays

If your kids love Chuck E Cheese sign them up on-line to receive free tokens on their birthday. I don't like to give my kids real birth dates on-line so I use a standard fake date near their birth dates for on-line forms. Chuck E Cheese will also send you great coupons. If you want to save money feed the kids at home and then just go to Chuck E Cheese and play games. One token per game is the best deal you will find anywhere.

Cleaning up or building around the house?


If you live in Lexington, KY you can get a BIG dumpster from the city for only $38.00. We have done this twice while working on projects around the house.


"LOAN-A-BOX" a box will save you big money if you need a dumpster. You do have to plan ahead because there is a wait list for the loan a box. If you rented a private dumpster it would cost you about $150 base not including dump fees.

Spring Cleanup/Neighborhood Cleanup/House & Yard Cleanup

The Loan-A-Box (formerly the Loan A Truck) program is a service where a resident or non-profit organization can schedule to have a box delivered to you overnight through the weekdays or on Friday for the whole weekend. You can then load the 10x6x4 box for a total of ten (10) cubic yards with most types of debris and we will haul it away. This program is available to all citizens of Fayette County.

This program is not for businesses or private contractors.

The Loan-A-Box program now runs all year round (Previously the Loan A Truck program only ran from March 15th through September 15th each year) and is scheduled on a first-come, first-to-be served basis. The safe usage of the box is very important, and we ask that you review the guidelines for acceptable and unacceptable items.

We are pleased to be able to offer this program to the residents of Fayette County. A fee of $38.00 is required in advance to cover the landfill disposal cost. This is not a rental fee.

We will do our best to honor your scheduled date for the Loan-A-Box, but breakdowns and emergency situations do occur occasionally. If this happens, we will contact you as soon as possible and another date will be scheduled. If you need assistance or would like more information on the Loan-A-Box program, please call LexCall at (859) 425-2255 or send an email.
