Most Early Intervention Services take place in a family’s home. It is our privilege to coach parents and caregivers on how to integrate skills and strategies into their daily routines. By working with a child and family in their own environment, we can use familiar toys and everyday activities to support and achieve a child’s developmental goals.
We love to share stories about children to whom we provided Early Intervention Services when parents and caregivers give us an update on their child’s progress.
