Tummy Time helps build the strength babies need for skills to come. 👶During supervised awake time, try short 2–5 minute sessions a few times each day. Get down on the floor with your baby and use your voice, face or toys to keep them engaged.Check out our recent blog for more Tummy Time tips from our Early Intervention team.

Helping little voices find new ways to communicate! 💙Thanks to a generous grant from the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism, our Early Intervention Services team has been able to put new communication technology into the hands of our specialists to support children and families.The grant funded three iPads, each equipped with two Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) programs: TouchChat HD AAC with WordPower and Proloquo2Go. These tools allow our specialists to work with children and their families to explore different ways to communicate and determine what works best for each child.One parent shared these heartfelt words in a letter thanking the Foundation:"Your generosity has provided him with an invaluable tool to continue growing in his communication skills, independence, and ability to connect with others."We're so grateful to the Flutie Foundation for helping us give young children more opportunities to express themselves, connect with others, and build important communication skills!💙 Learn more about this meaningful grant and how we're using technology to support early communication development at the link in our bio.#EarlyIntervention #FlutieFoundation #PartnersInChildDevelopment
Building Number Literacy Through a Reggio-Inspired Lens
In a Reggio Emilia-inspired classroom, mathematics is not taught as a separate subject. Instead, number literacy grows naturally through children's investigations, play, and relationships with the world around them. At Woodbridge School, we view math as one of the many languages children use to make sense of their experiences.
