Early Intervetion Angels

Early Intervention Angels
I have always believed that people come into your life for a reason.  Elizabeth has many "angels" in her life that watch over her and are helping, or have helped, her on her journey.  She has a special team of "angels" that we see every week in our lives.  These wonderful women comprise Elizabeth's Early Intervention Team.  I cannot express the amount of gratitude and appreciation that we have for her EI team and all that they have done for her. 
Elizabeth currently has the following EI therapies each week:
2 hours of Physical Therapy (PT) with Jenna through Positive Steps
2 hours of Occupational Therapy (OT) with Mandy through Positive Steps
1 hour of Developmental Therapy (DV) with Colleen through Positive Steps
2 hours of Speech Therapy (SLT) with Amy through Pediatric Therapy Professionals
1 hour of Vision Therapy (VT) with Josette through Pediatric Therapy Professionals
A Nutritionist Amy from Pediatric Therapy Professionals
And Valerie through Center for Communty Resources as her Case Coordinator
I am exceedingly, eternally and humbly grateful for Elizabeth's EI team.  They help us to give our Elizabeth the support that she needs to continue to reach milestones, develop and amaze the people in her life.  Each week, they come to our home or to daycare.  They share their skills, wisdom and expertise with Elizabeth and our family.  They have attended appointments with us, helped us to acquire equipment and materials to help Elizabeth succeed, and have been an incredible support system for our family. 

I cannot believe the changes that we have seen in Elizabeth since they have started working with her.  Michelle our original PT and Valerie our Case Coordinator have been with us since Elizabeth was 4 months old.  We have continued since that time to build and expand our team.  They have helped her to accomplish incredible things.  These angels are all kind, compassionate, skilled, and remarkable women.

We will NEVER be able to repay or thank them enough for everything that they have done for Elizabeth and for us.  I know that without them, our story with Elizabeth would be VERY different.  We are blessed to be able to have such a wonderful program and wonderful people on Elizabeth's team.  I simply cannot say enough good things about each and every one of her therapists.
