What this looks like in practice

Families often ask what a day looks like here. At UCP of NEPA's Children's Center, early intervention services are provided in the child's natural environment, whether that is home, a child care center, or the community. Trained staff work with children and families on goals that fit each child. Call the center to ask about schedules and how a first visit works.

The work continues at home. In monthly Lekotek sessions at the center, children play with typical and specially adapted toys chosen for their developmental needs and goals. Parents and siblings can join in, and toys can be borrowed so families keep practicing between visits. Call to ask how a family gets started.
