Early Intervention Home Based Services Ages Birth to Three Sunshine Therapy Club, Inc. provides early intervention services to children and families in natural environments. Therapists and special instructors use a multi-sensory approach to address developmental skills, cognitive, language, or sensory motor concerns. Our goal is to empower and support. We help parents to make every interaction with their child a learning experience. We focus on routines and help families work on those that are most challenging. A written contact sheet is completed and signed by the interventionist and parent/caregiver at the time of service. Parents are also provided a copy for their records. Interventionists provide annual assessments and may attend quarterly or annual MDE/IFSP meetings or Transition meetings.
