FAMILY CENTERED SERVICES
As a resource of support and information for parents and caregivers, Every Child Achieves helps parents deal positively with their child’s developmental delay. We incorporate the family into all levels of the evaluation, goal setting and intervention sessions. The families are taught through participation, with instruction and supervision, how they can help their child maximize their learning and development, develop confidence and independence.
We are committed to family empowerment by enhancing family skills in areas such as:
- problem solving
- advocacy
- and information access
Existing support systems are utilized to build upon, and then further implementing collaborative support networks for each family on an individual basis.
