Grateful for Early Intervention - By Jordan Spicklemire

My family has greatly benefited from utilizing Early Intervention to receive speech services for my son, as well as Early Childhood Education to attend a preschool program beginning at age 3. When I noticed my son wasn’t meeting some of the typical speech milestones, I decided to seek support and was connected to Early Intervention. I am so glad to have been able to have my son work with wonderful speech therapists through Early Intervention to support his speech and language development. Once he turned 3 years old and joined the preschool Early Childhood Education program at our public school, he continued to thrive thanks to the speech services and teachers at the school district. I am forever grateful for these services and hope that by sharing my story more families can take advantage of these services to support their own children’s needs.
