innovative intervention services Information

Innovative Intervention Services' vision is to provide programs designed by families and consultants to target family goals and priorities. Innovative provides strategies to parents to assist with daily family functioning. Every child will reach their potential through family focused programming. Programming will encourage a child and family to develop the ability to functionally participate within their homes and community settings. Innovative will support the family to develop skills that enhance their child's ability to reach their full potential and become an integral part of the family and community. Innovative will encourage collaboration with community services and the necessary consultants to meet program goals. Consultants will vary according to each child's needs and individualized program. Consultants may be Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), Physical Therapists (PTs), Behavioral Specialists and/ or Psychologists and Triple P Consultants. Child and Family Development Coaches work directly with the child and family on a weekly basis. Coaches offer direct support to families by helping carry out the Specialized Services program goals, under the supervision of consultants (SLP, OT, PT, Psychologist, Behavior Specialist). Having a coach does not reduce or replace consultants' involvement; rather, it is a collaborative approach that has proven effective for over 14 years of practice. families receive consistent weekly support; coaches provide important repeated practice/rehearsal time with the child; coaches can act as a bridge between parents and their consultants, helping them stay connected between visits if necessary; coaches have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share having worked with various consultants and with many families; and coaches can model strategies to parents so that they can gain comfort and confidence in areas of need.
