Early Intervention Programs (EIP) – Building a Strong Foundation for Your Child’s Future

At YOUNGFERNS Kids Therapy Centre, our Early Intervention Programs (EIP) are designed to support children with developmental delays, disabilities, or special needs during the most critical stages of growth. Early intervention can significantly impact a child’s ability to learn, grow, and develop essential skills, providing them with the tools they need to thrive in life and school.

Our EIP services include a holistic approach that combines assessments, therapy sessions, and individualized plans to address every child’s unique needs. We also integrate Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) to ensure continuity and tailored learning in educational settings.

​
