Скачать или смотреть Early Intervention Matters: Why Comprehensive Services for Infants and Toddlers Make a Big Impact

"The experiences we have in our earliest years affect the architecture of the brain in ways that our later experiences simply do not.” - The Center on the Developing Child, Harvard University.

Since its inception in 2018, the New Orleans City Seats program has dedicated resources to provide comprehensive services to the 1,000 infants and toddlers enrolled in early learning centers across the city. These services include developmental screenings and interventions, medical care, mental health consultations, and social services for families. This session will cover what happens in the brain before age 3, why funding is intentionally devoted each year to provide these opportunities, and the positive impact these services have on the health and well-being of the children, families, teachers, and early learning center leaders participating in the City Seats program.
