| When
a parent learns their child has been diagnosed with
a disability or disorder, they are faced with a powerless
battle. They embark into a world that is enormously
challenging and fearful. Intense emotions overwhelm
and consume every waking moment. Parents are required
to understand and accept their child’s diagnosis
and then quickly research available therapies to make
the best decision for their child’s future.
There is so much information available that parents
are overwhelmed with new terms and interventions and
it almost becomes incomprehensible. Where do you begin
to understand what your child has and how do you even
make sense of all this information to organize the
future of your family. Parents are thrown into darkness
and they feel powerless trying to make their way into
the light.
At CH.I.L.D.Ltd. we strive to help parents and families
make sense of their child’s disorder or disability.
Our philosophy is to empower parents through education.
We do not claim do be the panacea for the child's
challenges, but we strive to maximize the potential
of each child.
Parents want their child with special needs to learn
and grow to their maximum potential. One of the most
important goals we strive to achieve is to ensure
that each child functions as independently as possible
in his/ her environment. We teach our children how
to learn. This is a fundamental skill that is the
foundation for our intervention. We provide the tools
and strategies to teach children to learn to plan
and organize simple to complex behaviors.
All of my children receiving services at CH.I.L.D.
Ltd is provided with a loving team of professionals
desperate to encourage and facilitate growth. Our
mandate is to provide cutting edge services based
on scientifically sound and efficacious intervention
practices. Our mission is to contribute to the betterment
of those living with a disability/ disorder, and to
provide education and awareness to family members,
professionals and the community.
