treatment planning

She also gives continuity of
treatment to your child
from infancy throughout early childhood
past
the age of 3. Particularly
during early developmental years

child continue to benefit from
strong in-home support; her
guidance, and family centered
care supplement Early
Childhood Education
Professionals. Last, Stacy will
navigate community resources,
promote parent advocacy, and
recommend learning materials so
