Program Information
Are you concerned about your baby, toddler or preschooler? For example, perhaps he or she is having difficulty sitting unsupported, walking or talking? Is your preschooler struggling in preschool or daycare? If so, our early intervention team is ready to empower you with strategies to help your child become more independent, discover their abilities, and learn new skills. The service plan for your child and family may include:
- Family Consultation - provided on specific topics identified by you as priorities for your child's development. We are able to share ideas about how to encourage your child's development at home and in the community.
- Parent/Caregiver and Child Program - we offer a number of fun, play-based programs for a small group of children working on developing similar skills. These programs provide opportunities for your child to learn new skills, and for you to learn how to practice the new skills with your child. They are also a great opportunity to meet other parents
- Parent/Caregiver Education & Training Program - providing opportunity to learn about child development, parenting and other early years topics.
- Community Consultation - we are available to consult with community programs (e.g. preschool or daycare) in order to foster your child's development and encourage successful inclusion in these environments.
- Individual Sessions - occasionally we may provide individual sessions focused on specific goals for your child.
Referral to this program are open and can be made by families or community professionals with the families permission.
