T he Early Intervention Team
includes a wide variety of specialized services that work together to achieve the child’s developmental and family goals identified in the assessment process.
Early Interventionists are Child Development and Parenting Education in-home specialists who promote the overall development of the child from ages 0-36 months in preparation for preschool, and provide parent education in tandem with the whole team.
Occupational Therapy enhances the child’s ability to perform daily tasks such as eating, dressing, and grooming, to develop visual-motor and fine-motor skills to be able to hold a writing tool and to manipulate toys and activities for play. NDT Therapy focuses on promoting flexibility, strength, coordination and motor planning skills of the arms and body. Therapy also emphasizes the child’s developing ability to respond and process sensory information from touch, movement, visual and auditory information which precludes the child’s ability to focus, to attend to a task and develop social skills.
Feeding Therapy focuses on the skills of oral-motor sensory awareness, coordination, strength and endurance of the oral structures and feeding behaviors. |

Such tasks as rolling, crawling, walking, and overall musculo-skeletal status that enables the body to move more appropriately and functionally.
Speech and Language Therapy uses activities to promote communication and comprehension, verbal language expression and non-verbal communication, articulation and oral-motor function for speech.
