Parent Support Program
Brain research shows that early stimulation of children
directly impacts both physical and intellectual growth within
their brains. These discoveries confirm what we have felt all
along. The earlier we begin to work with these children, who
due to their parents' developmental disabilities or other special
needs may not be receiving this stimulation, the sooner we
help children develop the skills they need to realize their potential
.
Infant Program Goals:
 |
To foster optimal development of babies |
|
To support parents with special needs in their efforts to provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for healthy growth of their babies. |
We Provide:
|
Parent support through individualized home visits. |
|
Opportunities to teach positive, developmentally appropriate activities for infants and their parents, which teach health, safety, nutrition and the basic care necessary to prevent abuse and neglect, while stimulating the growth and development of the infant. |
|
Resource and referrals to ensure that programs and services are quickly and easily accessible to these families. |
