early intervention programs

[Guest guest]

Hello all-

I just wanted to post a reminder email, especially for all the new

parents out there about a wonderful resource. The early intevention

programs vary by state-its federal mandate, state run. For us in

Indiana-they have been a wonderful group of people to work with.

receives PT and OT twice a month free-and the best part is they come

to your home!! Below is the web address, please I encourage you to

contact them. The web link will take you to the state information and

their contact information.

therapy?

Thank you

I think some states will pay for physical and occupational therapy. I also want

to throw in the benefits of swimming (once the casts come off and after the 3

months of 24-7 shoe/bar time). We didn't do any therapy with , but did

introduce him to swimming, which seemed to add a nice, new way for him to move

his little body around.

Stacie-

Each state runs their program differently. In Indiana-your child is

assessed to see if he/she will need physical therapy, occupational

therapy, developemental therapy, speech therapy to name a few! If

you click on the link, you can locate your state contact

information. Once you contact them, you have a bunch of forms to

fill out and then your child is assessed. If they show a " delay " or

have a pre existing condition that automatically qualifies you, then

you get the therapy. My son sees a physical therapist and just

recently began seeing an occupational therapist since he is delayed

in gross/fine motor skills. I am so glad to have found this resource

and just wanted to share the information with the rest of the

parents out there!

I wanted to second this! has been getting PT 4 times a month for 60 min.

since 4 months, and he has OT 4X a month for 60 min. since 5 1/2 months. It has

helped so much in his development. He is still not crawling, but he is trying

really hard! His balance and arm coordination just aren't there yet. He is

now rolling a lot more. Until recently, he would just roll for belly to back or

vice versa once and stop, now he keeps going. We are also from Indiana, and

they are wonderful, but other states have their program set up very similarly.

Kathleen was referring to physical therapy and occupational therapy, but First

Steps and other early intervention programs offer others such as speech,

hearing, developmental, social, etc... You should find a list of services

offered if you look on the website she provided or call a coordinator in your

state.
