Family
First Early Intervention Project is
a non-profit program located in Fairfield County, Connecticut that promotes
early identification and intervention for children with autism
and other developmental challenges. Our center is staffed by a
team of early childhood therapists with extensive training and
experience.
Our
Mission is to
identify these at-risk children as early as possible and to support
their families
by empowering them to be their child’s
first and best source of early
intervention. This goal is achieved by
directly training and coaching families
and caregivers to provide playful,
intensive, high quality and proven intervention
in the context of daily life. Given the
rise in the number of children diagnosed
with autism spectrum and related disorders,
and the limited therapeutic options
available, our program fills a void by
focusing on the family first. We
believe that when families have a high
degree of competence, using effective techniques to
increase their child’s engagement, social, communication and
play abilities, their child thrives.
