Anders Overcomes Delays Stemming from COVID-19

Katie gave birth to her son Anders near the onset of when COVID-19 hit our nation. Early Intervention played a key role helping Anders and his family build communication skills and overcome delays. Let’s hear more of their story …

“Anders had two surgeries after being born that focused efforts on health rather than early development. This was also right at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited his social interaction. My husband and I felt discouraged and frustrated as to how to help him communicate with us. Early Intervention helped to provide the tools, skills, and most importantly the confidence needed to help catch our son up in so many ways. The difference it’s made has been a blessing to our family.” ~ Katie

Early Intervention, working side by side with a family, can make a measurable difference in a child’s development and progress. It is heartwarming to hear stories such as this one!
