Is your child developing the way he or she should?  If you don’t think he/she is, early Invention (birth through 3) may be the answer.  We provide services for children exhibiting a delay in development and/or low birth weight. We also service such conditions but are not limited to Down syndrome, Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder and failure to thrive

We rely on natural learning. Services are provided in your child’s natural environment utilizing parents, grandparents, playgrounds, daycare's, babysitters, community resources and of course your home!!  We provide services in the following developmental areas:

Physical development:  Ability to move, crawl, walk, play, sees, and hear

Communications: Language and speech development

Social and Emotional Development:  Ability to relate to others, behaviors, ability to play through “sensory exploration” and parenting concerns

Self-help:  Ability to eat, dress, and learn personal hygiene

Cognitive Development:  Ability to think and learn

Your child’s therapists can include:

1. Physical Therapist

2. Occupational Therapist

3. Speech Therapist

4. Developmentalist (cognitive)

5. Vision Therapist

6. Social Worker

7. Teacher of the Hearing Impaired

Our services are family centered.  Services and supports are based upon the strengths and needs of your child, as well as the strengths and needs of your family in helping in the development of your child.  YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD BEST.  You know what is important to your family. YOUR INPUT IS VALUED AND RESPECTED!!

We can assist with Community Resources e.g., Local Interagency Coordination Council (LICC) Of Fayette & Greene Counties.  We can also assist in your child’s transition into the Pennsylvania Department of Education
