CHILDREN'S SERVICES
Early Intervention

Escuelita Group girlResearchers now know that 60% of all brain development occurs between birth and three years old. Basic verbal and language skills are developed as well as sensory and cognitive abilities. Without early intervention programs, at risk infants are much more likely to require restrictive and costly special education services.

A recognized leader in early childhood education, Easter Seals Northern California has been providing early intervention in Marin, Sonoma and Lake Counties. Ours is a family-centered model that takes a holistic approach to service since we recognize caring for a child with special needs can be stressful. We see our role as providing parent education and tapping other community resources to complement Easter Seals' services.

Our early interventionists, many of whom are bilingual, provide support in the child's natural environment -- the home. Some locations also offer center-based programs to facilitate the transition to public or private school. Group activities stimulate language and listening, facilitate gross and fine motor development and promote self-help skills.

Child Care Counseling and Training

Sonoma EI Picture

Easter Seals works both with providers and parents to facilitate acceptance of children with disabilities in child care and preschool settings. Trainings offer childcare providers the skills they need to recognize and respond to children with behavioral problems. Everybody gains when child care is inclusive. Children with disabilities model their typically developing peers who are exposed to and learn to appreciate others with different abilities.


Educational Services

The only way some children can participate in the classroom is with help from other professionals. Easter Seals provides sign lanaguage interpreters for students with hearing impairments in cooperation with school districts in Marin, Sonoma and Napa Counties. Adaptated physical educators and licensed vocational nurses from Easter Seals also provide supportive services to children with Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, Autism and other severe disabilities. Please contact us for more information at 707.584.1443.
