The Debbie Institute, a division of the Mailman Center for Child Development, is a center for early intervention research, training and service. Children who might benefit from the services offered at the Debbie Institute are referred through the Early Steps Programs (North and South) and other community agencies. The educational services of the Debbie School are delivered to children and families through three separate programs: the Early Education Program, the Auditory/Oral Education Program, and the Infant • Toddler • Preschool Education Program.
