Service Description:
|
Families will work with a parent infant therapist to get to know you and your child, support you and your family, answer questions, and help connect you with community supports.
Therapists will make regular visits to work families and set goals. Therapists will explore play activities to help your child learn new skills.
Other team members will meet families as needed.
Most young children learn new skills in predictable ways and at predictable times. Some children need more support to learn how to hold up their head, roll over, sit, drink, and eat solid foods, talk, play with people and toys, and build relationships with their family members. When children take longer to learn new skills, it may be called a developmental delay.
Some things that might cause a developmental delay are:
- health problems during pregnancy, birth or as a very young infant, including substance exposure during pregnancy, birth complications, being born prematurely or serious illness like meningitis
- some genetic or medical conditions (such as down syndrome, or seizure disorders)
