Children with disabilities and high intensity needs who receive early intervention therapy experience improvement in their motor, cognitive, and communication development. Nationally, there is a need for highly qualified OTs, PTs, and SLPs to work in early intervention (EI) and early childhood (EC).
Dr. Christine Myers, project director, leads INSPIRE (Interdisciplinary Related Services Personnel Preparation for Early Childhood); an interdepartmental project offered by the Departments of OT, PT, and SLHS through a $1.24M grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
