The family-centered curriculum empowers families to work with their children, as parents are the first and most important teacher a child has. Traditionally, the majority of EI programming is provided in a home-based environment, focusing on meeting families where they are and ensuring a space that will foster positive learning and development. Currently, because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, we have offer a blended format of in-person and telehealth services.
About
Aspire’s family-centered approach is central in all aspects of our Early Intervention Program (EI).
As always, goal-planning for the child comes from the directives of their families, with a focus on what they feel is most important and most needed. Aspire supports each family through parent education, parental support, one-on-one child therapy, and securing connections with community resources.

Testimonials
“Aspire is amazing!! Four years ago my daughter started EI and was later diagnosed with Autism. I don’t know what I would have done without Aspire. They were very caring and professional ladies, always on time and trying different strategies to make my daughter comfortable. I learned a lot from them and after having two more kids diagnosed and using two different EI agencies due to moving, I can honestly say Aspire is one of the best around.”
“Aspire has been fantastic, they have held our hand through this whole process. All the therapist are caring and accessible. It feels like they’ve become part of the family.”
