The first seven years in a child’s development are considered the formative years. During the first two years, a child develops approximately 70% of his/her brain connections.  Research indicates that early identification and intervention of any developmental challenge leads to greater improvements and better long-term success for that child.  Early intervention and intensive support for infants and young children, their parents, and caregivers can be vital to helping families find appropriate solutions.
