Early Intervention Services

The Early Intervention Services Program at Parc Center for Disabilities is here to support your child’s unique journey. Our early intervention services are dedicated to children who may be at risk of or diagnosed with disabilities, ensuring they receive the best possible start.

Our community-based program goes beyond our center, bringing our compassionate care and support directly to your child’s school or home. By emphasizing meaningful one-on-one interactions, we foster your child’s development and well-being in the settings where they feel most comfortable. With our dedicated approach, we nurture your child’s growth and provide your family with the resources and support you need during this crucial time.

Early intervention involves providing specialized support and services to young children with developmental challenges and their families. These services are designed to enhance your child’s growth, learning, and development during the critical early years and prepare them for entering Kindergarten.

Early Intervention provides a coordinated service that promotes age-appropriate progress and supports your family every step of the way, offering a compassionate and personalized approach to early intervention. We are proud to have been serving our community with this exceptional program for over 40 years, making a positive impact on countless families.

Individualized Goals

Our Early Intervention teachers take a personalized approach to supporting your child’s unique journey. We begin by assessing your child’s needs to create tailored goals that focus on key developmental areas.

We work on enhancing your child’s communication skills, helping with large muscle movements and coordination, and improving small muscle movements and dexterity. We also focus on nurturing cognitive abilities and skills related to problem-solving, as well as developing personal and social skills for interacting with others and self-help.

By identifying the specific areas where your child may need support, our Early Intervention Teachers create targeted goals to foster growth in a comprehensive and structured manner. This tailored approach ensures your child receives the support they need to thrive on their educational journey.
