Family-Centered Services

As a parent, you know your child better than anyone else. Kids and Family understands this and works to help you help your child achieve his fullest potential. Kids and Family therapists and educators train parents and caregivers in child development and interventions so that your child has opportunities to learn and grow with your family every day rather than just a few hours per week during therapy sessions. We will work with you to determine which parts of your daily routine are the most challenging (for example, one family might want to focus on feeding with a spoon during lunchtime, while another requests solutions for tantrums that occur during bath time, and still another needs strategies to enhance communication during play) with the understanding that the needs of each child and family change over time. Embedding strategies into daily routines such as mealtime give you and your child plenty of opportunities to practice the new skills that she is learning!
Our services are provided in your child's natural environment. A natural environment is any place that your child lives, plays, and interacts; some examples are daycares, playgrounds, relatives' houses, and grocery stores. Early Intervention services are designed to help your child function in the places he goes throughout his day.
