The Infant Development Program (IDP) at Reach Child and Youth Development Society is accepting referrals and working through various means to connect with newly referred families during the pandemic.
The early years are critical for brain development and families are often at a loss of what to do when things don’t go as planned. Reach IDP is family-centered and uses a developmental parenting model to support families.
A combination of virtual and in-person sessions are being used to keep families safe during COVID-19. The early years are a critical time for children’s brain development and it is vital to receive intervention if there are developmental concerns.
“We work with families to identify developmental strategies and activities that are fun and part of a family’s everyday routines,” said program coordinator Leora Shipley.
The Infant Development Program serves families with children from newborn to age three and works with families to develop strategies to encourage development within a family’s everyday routines and activities.
If you or someone you know has questions, please contact Shipley at 604-946-6622, ext. 303, email: leoras@reachchild.org or visit www.reachchild.org to make a referral.
