Thank YOU for such a well-said comment, Lisa! Yes, there’s nothing like witnessing one of those special first moments!

I feel that Early Interventionists on the whole truly love their job. I feel so lucky and blessed that families welcome me into THEIR home with open arms to almost be a part of their “extended family.” I cannot count how many times I get a tear in my eye when I am there to witness a child’s first steps or first word uttered right there with their parents. It’s the most amazing part about my job 🙂

As a self-proclaimed “flower shop at the beach owner wannabe” this was just the reminder that EI is SO IMPORTANT! Thanks to others for adding comments that were just so reaffirming!

I’d love to hear what you all talked about for handling bed bugs. That’s a really challenging one. If the staff had some good suggestions, as I’m sure they did, please encourage them to add their comments to that post! Here’s the link to make it easy: https://veipd.org/earlyintervention/a-bug-infestation-in-the-home-what-do-you-do/

Thanks Amy!

So many ways to use these articles!

This morning I was so pleased to open an email from the manager of a program who sent this link out to her entire staff of 50 or so Service Coordinators. She used it as a way to thank them for all of their hard work on behalf of children and families! The work you are doing is impacting so many and I just wanted to let you know and to say thanks to *you*!

You’ve said this so well, Pam! There is nothing quite as impactful as hearing from families. We were so very grateful to Liam’s mother for sharing her family’s story.

This story is a wonderful reminder that every parent wants the same basic experiences for their child, no matter what barriers may exist. They want their child to participate in everyday situations and share family moments. A heartwarming example of the what can be achieved with the combined dedication of the family and professionals working together as a team.

You’re welcome, David! The video is powerful. We were very fortunate to be able to work with that family to capture their story.

I’m glad this post was affirming too!
