Early Intervention sets a foundation that will improve the life of the child and offer greater opportunities. Services significantly increase the ability to integrate later in school, the workplace, and the community. Early intervention services to young children who have or are at risk for developmental delays have been shown to have a positive impact across developmental domains, including: • Health • Language and communication • Cognitive development • Social/emotional development Early intervention strengthens the entire family by providing a nurturing and supporting environment. Families can better meet their children’s needs from an early age and throughout their lives. Added benefits include reducing society’s economic burden through a decreased need for special education.

Yes! We are in network with several insurance plans and are also able to make arrangements for private payments for those not wishing to use insurance.

Our services are provided within your home so there is no need to travel to a clinic. We can also plan to meet you out in the community if this is preferred or more appropriate to reach established outcomes.

Many children perform better when they’re around familiar things. For young children with developmental delays, learning or attention issues, this is even more important. They are more likely to learn and get the most out of their services. A natural environment may: • Allow for your child to use items and routines in their everyday environment giving more opportunities for practice. • Allow your child to stay engaged by doing things that are of interest • Allow a service provider to model behaviors for family members and peers • Allow for more participation by family members and peers in the therapy process • Reducing time and cost traveling to appointments at multiple locations.

We have pediatric therapy clinics in Bullhead City, Kingman, and Lake Havasu.
