friend,

Diagnosing a developmental delay before the age of 5 can fundamentally change the course of a child’s life in terms of five key aspects of development: relationships, exploration, communication, playing, and movement. That’s why early intervention services and tools to track developmental progress are so vital.

The early intervention services Easterseals offers help children under the age of 5 with developmental delays in these five key areas receive the services they need to Make the First Five Count. From occupational therapy to help an infant learn to hold their bottle, to physical therapy to help a toddler learn to walk, or speech therapy to help a child learn to speak, Easterseals is here to help.

We are so proud of the lifelong impact our early intervention services have on the youngest members of our Easterseals community. That’s why we wanted to share just a few of the heartwarming stories of that impact with you.

Meet some of the parents and their incredible young children who are thriving thanks to the life-changing impact of early intervention services.
