Developmental Therapy
Empowering Parents, Supporting Development— Every Step Of The Way
Education for You and Your Family
Developmental therapy for children under the age of 3, provided through Arkansas First Connections Early Intervention Program, supports early growth in areas like communication, movement, play, social-emotional skills, and problem-solving. At this vital stage, therapy is not just about working with the child—it’s about partnering with parents and caregivers. Developmental therapists use a coaching approach to help families understand their child’s unique needs and build strategies into daily routines. By modeling techniques, guiding interactions, and offering emotional support, therapists empower parents to become confident advocates and active participants in their child’s development. This relationship-based, play-centered support helps children reach important milestones in a natural and nurturing environment.
Support that fits into everyday moments
Developmental therapy uses everyday routines— mealtime, bath time, bedtime, play, and getting dressed—as opportunities to help your child grow. It supports all five areas of development through a caregiver coaching model:
Cognitive
Cognitive skills help your child learn, think, and make sense of the world. We look at how your child pays attention, remembers things, solves problems, and begins to understand early learning concepts.
Social-Emotional
This area focuses on how your child connects with others—like family, friends, and caregivers. We look at how they share, take turns, show feelings, and understand other people’s emotions in everyday situations.
Language & Communication
We look at how your child understands and uses language to take part in everyday routines. This includes how they express themselves with words, sounds, or gestures, and how well they understand what others say to them.
Physical Development
We help your child build the physical skills they need to move and explore their world. This includes big movements like sitting, crawling, standing, and walking, as well as smaller skills like picking up toys, holding a spoon, or stacking blocks.
Self-Help
We support your child in learning everyday skills that help them become more independent—like sleeping, eating, getting dressed, using the bathroom, moving around, and learning how to interact with others.
Caregiver Coaching
In natural settings like home or daycare, our Developmental Therapists partner with caregivers to set goals, model strategies, and provide feedback- helping caregivers become more confident, effective teachers and advocates for their children.
