Pediatric Therapies for Kids Under Age 3

Early Childhood Intervention (ECI)

The best time to improve a child’s ability to grow and learn is before the age of three. If your child was born with a delay, medical diagnosis, or you just feel like something is “off,” you may qualify for affordable, in-home services to help with your child’s development.

Any Baby Can offers early intervention services including occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, specialized skills training and medical case management. Parents are involved during visits, building their confidence and ability to work with the child. The family also gets help with things like insurance, doctors, school and other needs.

Counseling and Support Groups

No Estás Solo

Facing uncertainties can add stress to an already full plate of raising children, working, and preparing for the future. Any child, youth or adult can benefit from counseling services.

Any Baby Can offers mental health counseling provided by licensed, bilingual counselors. Our counselors help families develop skills in communication, problem solving, conflict resolution, and self-advocacy. We also offer support groups for parents who are not current Any Baby Can clients.

Camp Grey Dove

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the whole family is affected. The child and their siblings may experience feelings of sadness, jealousy or guilt.

Any Baby Can offers a summer camp for siblings of children diagnosed with cancer or special health care needs. Campers benefit from meeting other kids who understand, as well as making new friends, trying new things, and “taking a break” from family stress.

"We thought Any Baby Can was just for little kids! But we were struggling as parents. Both of us working full time, coordinating five kids, and all of the extra appointments and meetings we had for Jayden. If I didn’t have these supports in place, if I didn’t ask for and accept help, I wouldn’t be able to keep my job.”
