Why Early Intervention?

The connections made in your baby’s brain are most adaptable during the first three years of life. These connections create the foundation for lifelong developments in learning, behavior, and overall health. The earlier in life intervention is provided, the more effective it is. If you have any concerns about your child’s language and communication, there is no need to wait. You know your child best and early intervention can change their developmental path. Schedule a free consultation to discover if early intervention is a good fit for your family.
