Early Intervention

We work closely with parents and other caregivers, giving them tools and ideas to support each child’s development during everyday moments like mealtime, playtime, and bath time. Our goal is to help caregivers build confidence and to help children gain skills, reach important milestones, and get ready for the next steps, like preschool. 

Services are outlined in an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) and are provided in the natural learning environment – whether it’s at home, at childcare, or in another familiar place.

Team

Our team includes speech-language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and special instructors, along with a clinical supervisor and an early intervention program manager.
