Description

Center for Independence offers the Parent and Baby/Toddler Program, which provides motor training programs based on the principles of Conductive Education for children with physical disabilities. Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Conductive Education Teachers work with parents and babies to help build strength and teach fundamental skills that lead to independence. This program is for babies or toddlers who are medically stable and cleared for therapy, motivated by a peer environment and are able to functionally see and hear. This program's philosophy is that the earlier therapy is started, the sooner the baby or toddler will meet developmental milestones. This program meets 2 mornings a week for 2.5 hours.
