"Early Intervention has done wonders for Zach. If we had not gotten involved at a very young age, he may not be as advanced as he is. We are thrilled with the program and all it has accomplished."

"With Dreamweavers' help Logan has achieved all his first goals and is now working on walking. Ana was the first to get Logan to take 4 steps. We all cheered and clapped and I had tears in my eyes as I watched my son smile."

Infant Mental Health
Infant Mental Health focuses on and supports the relationship between babies and their primary caregivers. A consistent, warm relationship with primary caregivers creates a basis for infants’ future ability to form other relationships.

The focus of infant mental health is:
  • to identify relationship issues at the point where they begin to emerge
  • to strengthen and improve the parent/child attachment
  • to teach positive discipline and behavior modification
  • to identify what makes children feel emotionally safe
The relationship-based approach to infant mental health looks at three factors:
  • Parent Education
  • Parent/Child Play Therapy
  • Addressing behavioral issues in the home and daycare center
