Aboriginal Infant Development Program

We service aboriginal families with children from birth to age six, we provide early developmental screening (Ages & Stages) for the earliest possible developmental interventions, so every child is set up for success when they enter school. Instead of who may be at risk of developmental delays with an emphasis on ages 0-3. Our overall goal is for caregivers to be able to optimize developmental opportunities for the child. Our aim is to see children thrive by supporting their entire family.
