Developmental Delay

The next part of our journey was working with Jesse's developmental delay. Just prior to Jesse being placed in our care I worked in early intervention with children with disabilities. I contracted to work in child care services with children as young as 6 weeks old who had special needs. Using HELP ( Hawaii Early Learning Program) http://www.vort.com/products/help_overview.html
I would work with children with special needs in the areas of gross motor, fine motor, expressive and receptive communication,cognitive and self help skills. This experience and resource gave me resource to develop Jesse's skills. He didn't have a "normal" childhood. I programmed each day to work on the skills he was delay in.
