Intervention Services

• Our intervention services works with families to ensure all members can function in a way that encourages growth and enjoyment in all aspects of family life. We work with the child and their families in their homes and communities, to ensure consistency of skill development and generalization of skills for all family members. Recognizing that all families are different and require individualized support, one of our program's main goals is to give all family members the tools and knowledge to build their confidence in addressing the needs of the child with special needs, as well as the family as a whole.
