Early Progress Supported With A Multi-Disciplinary Approach

Zoey is a happy two-year-old who loves to color, sing and spend time with her dog. With early intervention services, Zoey found support for her communication needs and increased her strength, motor skills, and symmetrical body use.  

Zoey's achievements with the help of her therapists have been incredible. Her mom, Celina, shares, "Prior to therapy, Zoey had only taken a few unassisted steps on her own, but after hard work in physical therapy, she began to walk. Zoey's language has also taken off, and she has more words now than ever!" 

Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley's multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach has been vital in helping support Zoey through her early milestones. Celina comments on her progress, "She is a little chatterbox who loves to climb and explore now, thanks to the help of Zoey's therapists at Easterseals."
