Early Intervention for Infants and Toddlers

Embracing Potential through Early Intervention

Imagine a world where every child's potential is unlocked at the earliest possible moment. This vision drives us at Accel Therapies, where we provide early intervention programs for children ages birth to 3 who are experiencing a disability or developmental delay. Our mission is to ensure that each infant or toddler, including children with autism, receives the support they need to thrive regardless of their challenges.

​

Understanding Early Intervention

Early intervention is a powerful tool designed to support infants and toddlers who show signs of developmental delays. These delays can impact a child's development, including physical, cognitive, communication, social-emotional, and adaptive skills. Early intervention services are crucial because they provide targeted support during the critical stages of a child's growth, helping to address issues before they become more pronounced.

Early intervention aims to enhance a child's development and improve their long-term outcomes. Identifying and addressing developmental delays early can make a significant difference in a child's ability to reach their full potential.

Our Approach to Early Intervention

At Accel Therapies, we take a personalized and data-driven approach to early intervention. Our child development specialists work closely with each family to create individualized plans catering to their child's unique needs. We believe that family involvement is essential to the success of early intervention, and we encourage parents and other family members to participate actively in the process.

One key component of our early intervention program is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA therapy is an evidence-based practice that improves specific behaviors and skills. It is particularly effective for children with autism and sensory disorders. We help children develop communication, social, and daily living skills using ABA techniques in a structured and supportive environment.

​

Early Intervention Services We Offer

At the core of Accel Therapies' mission, early intervention programs are designed by highly trained specialists who understand each infant and toddler's unique needs. Our early intervention specialists are dedicated professionals who apply a comprehensive approach to supporting the developmental milestones of infants and toddlers through tailored therapies and personalized care plans.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy

ABA therapy is at the heart of our early intervention services. It involves breaking down complex skills into smaller, manageable tasks and reinforcing positive behaviors through structured techniques. Our ABA therapy is tailored to meet each child's needs, ensuring they receive the most effective and personalized care possible.

​

Speech and Language Therapy

Communication is a fundamental aspect of a child's development. Our speech and language therapy services aim to enhance a child's communication ability. This therapy helps children with developmental delays improve their language skills, enabling them to express their needs and interact with others more effectively.

​

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy focuses on helping children develop their daily living skills. This includes fine motor skills, sensory processing, and self-care activities. Our occupational therapists work with children to improve their ability to perform everyday tasks, increasing their independence and confidence.

​

Benefits of Early Intervention

The benefits of early intervention are profound and far-reaching. By addressing developmental delays early, we can help children significantly improve various areas of their development. Some of the key benefits include:

• Improved Developmental Outcomes: Early intervention can significantly enhance a child's developmental trajectory, helping them reach milestones more effectively.

• Enhanced Communication and Social Skills: Through targeted therapies, children can develop better communication and social interaction skills, which are crucial for their overall development.

• Better Preparation for School: Early intervention helps children develop the foundational skills they need for a successful transition to school.

• Reduced Need for Intensive Interventions Later: By addressing issues early, we can reduce the need for more intensive and costly interventions in the future.

Service Delivery Options

We understand that every family's situation is unique, and we offer various service delivery options to meet their needs:

In-Home Therapy

In-home therapy provides a convenient and comfortable setting for the child and the family. It allows our therapists to work directly in the child's natural environment, making the sessions more relevant and effective.

​

Center-Based Therapy

Our center-based therapy offers a structured environment where children can receive intensive support and interact with peers. This setting is ideal for children who benefit from a more formal and social learning environment.

The Early Intervention Process

Accel Therapies' early intervention process is designed to be thorough and supportive. It begins with an initial evaluation to identify the child's developmental needs. From there, we develop an Individualized Family Service Plan that outlines the specific goals and strategies for the child's development.

Family involvement is a critical aspect of the early intervention process. We work closely with parents and other family members to ensure they are fully engaged and informed throughout the journey. This collaborative approach helps to create a supportive environment that fosters the child's growth and development.

​

Eligibility and Access

Understanding eligibility for early intervention services can be complex, but we are here to guide families through the process. Eligible children typically include those with diagnosed disabilities or developmental delays, as well as those at risk due to genetic or congenital disorders. We assist his or her family members in navigating the eligibility criteria and accessing the necessary services.

Families can contact us for an initial consultation to get started with our early intervention system. We will have the eligible child evaluated to determine their needs and provide a comprehensive plan for early intervention services. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and supportive as possible, ensuring that eligible children receive the help they need to succeed, with family members closely involved throughout the journey.
