The Infant Development Program
The Infant Development Program (IDP) provides home-based support to families with children from birth to age three who are at risk for or are presenting with a delay in development. IDP supports the parent-child relationship by working alongside families to implement play-based strategies to help children develop. The program is family centered, meaning that we regard each child and family as unique, parents and/or caregivers know their child best and the family's involvement and participation is a key factor in the achievement of successful outcomes.
Services include:
Home visits to encourage your child's development through play-based activities
Individual planning and goal setting for your child's specific needs
Formal and informal developmental assessments
Weekly playgroup
Infant massage offered at different times throughout the year
