Does My Child Need Early Childhood Development Therapy?

A Developmentalist (DV) has a background in child development, psychology, education, special education, plus experience with children under 3 years of age, and often a master's degree in Early Intervention.  

The DV works with families to help children achieve skills in a typical developmental order.  They are able to assist children in the areas of physical skills, cognitive development, communication, social/emotional skills, and adaptive skills.  

A Child Developmentalist assists the family in following through with licensed therapists’ recommendations, including integrating recommendations into play activities.

Please don’t hesitate to contact TEIS for more information about Early Childhood Development Therapy.
