During this process, we will screen your child to see if they are eligible for services in the Developmental Center.

Our Approach
Transdisciplinary Approach
Our transdisciplinary team includes physical, occupational, and speech therapists, assistive technology professionals, teachers, associate teachers, and nurses.
These experts work together to provide personalized care and support, helping each child improve their movement, communication, learning, and overall well-being.
Early
Intervention
Early intervention for children with special needs is crucial. By addressing developmental delays early, we can support their rapid brain development and help them reach their full potential.
This also helps bridge gaps with their peers, allowing them to thrive in school and social settings.
Faith Based
The Developmental Center uses its own Bible-based curriculum to guide children with special needs in their educational and spiritual growth.
This curriculum integrates biblical principles into every lesson, fostering a nurturing environment where children and families are supported both spiritually and developmentally.
What parents are saying...
Why Does Early Intervention Matter?
Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delays or disabilities because it takes advantage of critical brain development periods, leading to improved cognitive, social, and emotional skills. It enhances school readiness, boosts social abilities, and provides essential support and resources for families, empowering them to aid their child’s development.
Additionally, early intervention is cost-effective, reducing the need for more intensive services later on. Early detection and prompt intervention can mitigate or prevent the progression of developmental issues, ultimately fostering healthier, more capable individuals and benefiting society as a whole.
