Early Childhood Education In-Home

Our Early Intervention Program provides services for families with children, birth through three years of age, who may have or have not special needs and prefer assistance in child development, parenting skills, like to optimize development, and prevent developmental deficiencies.

These services include in-home services in the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas, while specialist consultation such as Occupational & Physical therapy, Language & Speech therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis & Family Counseling, is made available in one of our centers.  A combination of services can be provided upon request.

How does this work?

Under the direction of the Early Interventionist, with support of the program's Specialists and consultants as needed, parents and children learn through active participation in planning and practice of  learning experiences and new skills.

Through parent professional partnerships in designing the plans and developing goals for desired outcomes, observations, demonstrations, and communications, parents and children will become familiar with developmental issues, appropriate skills for that age, toys and equipment enhancing the necessary skills,  to stimulate development and acquire optimal outcome.

Emphasis is on the influential role a parent or other caretaker has in the development of the young children, therefore including current Childrearing practices, Applied Behavior Analysis, optimal Family Communication and Parenting strategies

The Program Manager will initiate the services with an intake visit, at which time the “Parent Manual” will be presented to the family, containing information and organization for material and services.

A typical session with the Early Interventionist is one hour, including clinical note taking and case conference with the caretakers.

Following the IFSP guidelines, quarterly evaluation summaries are conducted in coordination with the family/caretaker, at which time a measurable plan is developed.
