YOU ARE YOUR CHILD'S MOST IMPORTANT TEACHER
HELLO! I’m Joy and I’m so glad you’re here.
I know that it can be overwhelming, confusing, and downright frustrating trying to get help for your child. You might be asking “how do I know what’s actually good for my child?” and you may even question yourself “am I doing the right thing?”
Over the years, I have received a lot of different trainings, certifications, and degrees. Let me tell you why I have chosen to focus on play-based, relationship-based, and developmental approaches to early intervention.
I am a strong believer in the power of play for kids. There is so much that can be taught through play no matter where a child is developmentally. Even if you think that your child doesn’t “play”, they do. It may just look a little different, and I’ll help you recognize that too.
I also believe that every child deserves good relationships in their lives, and family relationships are the most important.
Intervention doesn’t have to be complicated. There are simple adjustments that you can make in your interactions with your child to give more opportunities of growth. There are also ways to implement different strategies in every day activities, so you don’t have to find extra time in your day (that we all know doesn’t exist anyways).
It makes me sad when I hear how many kids are missing out on services during some of the most important time of their development. Instead of getting help, they’re just sitting on waiting lists. There’s too much waiting going on!
- Waiting for a doctor appointment
- Being told to “wait it out”
- Being referred to another doctor and then waiting again
- Waiting for a diagnosis
- Waiting for a therapy evaluation
- Waiting for an actual appointment to receive therapy
This can go on for months!
I wanted to find a way to help you while you’re waiting, and so I created the Early Intervention Tutorials. I want you to have information available to you no matter where you live or what time it is. A way for you to learn at your own pace and to individualize it to your own child.
The Early Intervention Tutorials aren’t just great to fill the time when you’re waiting, but they can also supplement any services you’re already getting. You will have the knowledge and skills to help your child progress at home.
