(Pg. 411- 412) Moreover, I would understand that I was part of a problem solving, collaborative team.

Lastly, I would never cease to see my child's potential and to treat them as a whole complex living being rather than a series of clinical…

The child may wish to bring in something they are interested in and talk about it with an…

Neurological evidence supports early intervention in a child’s life, since most of the neurons pathways are created in the first years of life. Early intervention prevents the short-term and long-term impact relative to physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, emotional, feeding, and language development. Early intervention assists families and caregivers by offering support, training, education, and sharing some of the burden that comes with raising a child with special needs. The services are adapted to the need of each child and are provided in the less restricted settings, without changing their familiar routine. In addition, the emotional and mental health of children with developmental delays needs to receive a greater attention as the impact is life-long.…
