CHILD/FAMILY SERVICES (Parent/Infant Program)
The Child/Family Services Department operates services for the young child, from birth to three years, who is "at risk" or whose development has been determined to be delayed. The goal of the service is to enable each child to reach his or her fullest potential.
The Parent/Infant program focuses on the whole child recognizing both strengths and needs. Every activity is presented within a play environment of daily routines focusing on various areas of development; fine and gross motor skills, personal and social interaction, self-help, cognition, and language.
The Parent/Infant Program offers both home and center-based services. If families select a home-based learning program, staff will make regularly scheduled visits to the home to work with the child and family. If families choose a classroom learning program, the child is brought to an Arc facility, community pre-school, or other appropriate toddler programs to participate in small, group activities with other children. Families can also choose a combination of both programs. Additionally, if a child needs help with a specific area such as language, motor, or self-help skills, the Parent/Infant Program utilizes the services of physical, occupational, and speech therapists. The Therapist works with the child and shares learning strategies that can be used at home. The services are funded through the San Diego Regional Center and limited private sources.
