Growing Together: Our Son’s Transformation through Early Intervention
When our son Nathaniel was born in April 2018, my mother, Jane, offered to care for him full-time, sparing us the expenses of daycare while my husband Alex and I both worked full-time. By age two, we noticed some delays in Nathaniel's speech and development. Despite having some vocabulary words, he predominantly used gestures and sounds to communicate his needs so we decided to have him evaluated. Because of COVID, the Infants and Toddlers Program did a remote assessment, finding that Nathaniel's development was age appropriate.
