Centre County to add $35,000 early-intervention contract with Bowers All About Kids LLC to consent agenda
Summary
County staff presented a letter of agreement with Bowers All About Kids LLC to provide early-intervention occupational, physical, special instruction and speech therapy services; the contract totals $35,000 with a $31,500 state share and $3,500 county match for July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026.
County staff presented a letter of agreement with Bowers All About Kids LLC to the commissioners and asked that it be added to next week’s consent agenda. A commissioner moved to add the item; the motion was seconded and recorded as carried.
The presenter described the services covered by the agreement as early-intervention supports: occupational therapy, physical therapy, special instruction and speech pathology provided in the home and community. The contract total is $35,000, with a state share of $31,500 and a county match of $3,500 for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
Commissioners emphasized the value of early intervention, saying services for very young children can reduce later need for intensive supports. The presenter and commissioners noted that referrals are at an all-time high and described the partnership as a priority use of human-services funds.
The letter of agreement was moved to the next week’s consent agenda and was then included in the consent agenda that the board approved later in the meeting. The public record shows the motions to add and later to approve the consent agenda were seconded and recorded as carried by voice vote.
