Violet is in Full Bloom with the Help of Early Intervention

It’s such a joy when families share how Early Intervention (EI) enriches their lives and empowers young children. As a Provider to the Ohio Statewide EI System, the focus of EI is to assist a family in meeting the unique needs of their child. Family-focused resources and supports are provided in naturally occurring learning environments, routinely at a child’s home.

Read below to hear from Amanda and Mike, Violet’s parents, about how EI and supports from Developmental Specialists make a world of difference …

“Our little Violet is 31 months old and has been with Early Intervention since she was three months old. We were introduced to the program through our medical care team who thought it would be a fit to help our family navigate her developmental milestones as a child born with a cleft lip and congenital condition. Early Intervention has been wonderful, not only for our little Violet, but for us as first-time parents. It has allowed us to help Violet reach her developmental milestones and support us with our concerns in all areas of development.

We have seen her grow by leaps and bounds and crush all the outcomes we had with the help and knowledge of her provider. The coaching model of the program has given us realistic ideas and ways to help Violet with everyday routines. She has become an outgoing fearless toddler that loves to giggle and play. We will be sad to leave early intervention when she turns three, but as parents we will be forever grateful that this program was there to support our family.“
