Benefits of Early Intervention

Tuesday, June 28, 2011 by Leslie Holmes

Children with severe impairments benefit greatly from early intervention, improving their overall health and quality of life. Infants and toddlers with mild to moderate developmental issues may not be identified as easily; this may delay the process to a quicker resolve for underlying developmental delays. When evaluations and treatments begin at an early age, many of these delays can be resolved quickly and children will not be affected in the long term.

 

Child & Family Development services are clinic based- meaning the child would come to our site for evaluations and treatment. Children benefit from site-based services by working one-on-one with a therapist in a therapeutic setting designed to support new learning techniques and challenge the child’s developmental abilities. Our clinics contain special tools, toys and equipment that allow the therapist to challenge children in a unique environment. Parents and caregivers participate throughout the entire therapeutic process, from the evaluation to the treatment sessions. Parents/caregivers and therapists will collectively discuss activities that can be performed in the home that imitate the activities that are performed during treatment sessions to ensure carryover and promote developmental growth. Guidance and education is provided to ensure continuous progress throughout the child’s daily life- not only during therapy sessions.

 

For early intervention, timing is everything. Child & Family Development is accepting new referrals! We are scheduling evaluations within a few weeks of the initial call.
