Message from the Executive Director

Children are our most precious asset, each capable of incredible growth. We understand that the family unit is the nurturing body that guides the growth or our children. At High Country Early Intervention we (HCEI) understand the challenges a family can face when their child may need some assistance in learning new skills. Since 1996, the dedicated staff of HCEI have devoted their time and expertise to helping families who have children, aged birth to three years, who experience developmental delays or disabilities.

We work closely with each family based on the family's concerns, priorities and needs. We incorporate our services into the family's daily routines and assist them in addressing the developmental needs of their child within the child's natural environment.

In doing so, we work together in partnership with each family and other primary caregivers to provide quality early intervention services. The purpose of early intervention is to help the family help their child develop to the child's fullest potential. Our compassionate, trained staff work from a family-focused perspective providing services built on mutual respect and parent choice. We recognize the parent as the expert related to their child. Our staff holds to the belief that each family is unique and deserves to have that uniqueness reflected and respected in the services that are offered to them. HCEI encourages parent feedback and involvement related to all aspects of our program delivery.

As director of HCEI, I am always available to talk with a family member regarding their child's development and the support and services they are receiving. Each family and child's experience at HCEI should be as rewarding to them as it is to the dedicated and skilled staff of HCEI.

Sincerely,
Barbara J. Hill, MHA, OTR/L
Director
