BLAST from the PAST

30 years and counting for Child and Family Development… With longevity comes great joy and satisfaction. Here are a few samplings of recent Blasts from My Past that keep alive for me the passion of what we do at Child and Family Development…

• A young 27 year-old adult who was treated at Child and Family Development for his attention deficit disorder and learning disabilities when he was a teenager called and wanted to share how well he is doing at his new job
• A mother called to say that her dyslexic son whom we saw 10 years ago has graduated from college and has been invited back to the college as a graduate intern in a field he loves.
• A sister whose brother was diagnosed 12 years ago and successfully treated for his learning disabilities called seeking guidance choosing her graduate program. She wanted  to work in a clinical environment like Child and Family Development
• A sister of another client likewise wanted advice on post-college studies so she could become a reading specialist and could work with students like her brother who has dyslexia.

Educational Specialists, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Therapists, and Physical Therapists at Child and Family Development all make a difference in the lives of the children we evaluate and treat as well as in the lives of their families.
