For children birth to three-years-old


Having a child is one of life’s greatest experiences. HNA Early Intervention Services specialize in helping children learn, grow and develop right where they are: at home, in the community, and in day care.

When you choose HNA Early Intervention, our team approach focuses on helping you achieve what’s important to you, your child and your family. Through the sharing of information and expertise, we offer seamless coordination of your child’s services by providing all types of care. We offer the full range of services you may need for your child up to three-years-old, including:

  • Child Development Specialists – help you set goals and create learning opportunities throughout your child’s daily routines.
     
  • Occupational Therapists – support you in helping your child reach, grasp, play, and eat independently while helping you understand how babies respond to sight, sound, feel, taste, movement, and smell.
  • Physical Therapists – support you in helping your child with body strength and muscle control so he or she can learn to move, walk, and play.
     
  • Speech and Language Pathologists – teach strategies to promote the development of your child’s communication, understanding, and use of language. Speech and occupational therapists can also coordinate plans to address any concerns with your child’s eating/feeding issues.
