First Words specialists are continuously monitoring and sharing your child’s progress throughout their journey in this program. You will participate in creating an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) that outlines family goals designed to help your child reach their fullest listening and spoken language potential. Sessions may occur on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis and can include other community professionals (e.g. audiologists, Infant Development Program consultants, childcare providers, interpreters, etc...).
