Hello! My name is Christine, and I started this blog in 2015 when I was a full-time Early Intervention Special Instructor for my state’s Early Intervention Program. I love Early Intervention! I think it’s the best job in the world to get to play with babies and encourage parents and teachers.
After a few years of working in this awesome career, I became frustrated because no one knew about this career path and how awesome it is, and I was motivated to create this blog to share what it is.
Join the Early Intervention Conversation
Then, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be awesome if other people working in early intervention could hang out and be with people who not only know what early intervention is but love it as much as I do, and we can exchange ideas and build each other up? Yes, it would!”
So, I started a Facebook group to do just that for us all. Feel free to explore the blog, and remember that these stories’ names, places, and certain details have been altered to maintain appropriate privacy.
