You watch other babies rolling over, saying words, making eye contact in ways your child hasn't yet. Your pediatrician says it's probably nothing. Give it a few more months. What most parents don't know is that while they wait, a federal program designed for exactly this moment is available to them: free, nationwide, and accessible without a doctor's referral. What Part C of IDEA Covers. Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal law guaranteeing early intervention services to children from birth through age 2. When a child turns 3, Part C ends and Part B takes over for preschool-age children. Under Part C, every state operates its own early intervention program. The federal government sets the requirements; each state administers its program under a different name. In New York it's the Early Intervention Program. In California it's California Early Start. In Texas it's Early Childhood Intervention (ECI). The name changes, the structure does not. Who Qualifies. Many parents hesitate to call because they aren't sure their child's delays are significant enough to qualify. The eligibility standard was designed for exactly that uncertainty. A child qualifies if they have a developmental delay in any of five areas: physical development, cognitive development, communication, social-emotional development, or adaptive development. These span motor skills and mobility, thinking and problem-solving, speaking and understanding language, relating to others and emotional regulation, and self-care skills like eating and dressing. A child also qualifies if they have a diagnosed condition that carries...

Part C of IDEA guarantees free early intervention for babies and toddlers with developmental concerns. Here's how to access it.

  Activities that Help with Therapy and Development    If you have a child with special needs, you are most likely very familiar with the therapeutic activities your child participates in when they are with a therapist. While one-on-one work with a professional therapist is best for your child, there are also many activities for special needs children that you can do at home with your child to help assist their routine therapy appointments. Also, if you plan to take a vacation, irregular therapeutic practice can set the child’s developments back temporarily. These activities for special needs children are a simple way to keep your child developing and learning in between therapy sessions.    Physical Activities that Help with Physical Therapy    Some of the best physical activities for special needs children are also activities that can be enjoyed as a family. Take your child to the pool to practice moving and swimming in the water. In shallow water, your child can use water aerobic weights or other floating toys to play with and work on muscle building in his or her upper arms. Your child can also wear an old pair of sneakers into the shallow end and practice walking around in the water. The added weight adds a challenge, as well as strengthens leg muscles. Just be sure to supervise your child at all times.    Horseback riding is also a fun and therapeutic exercise. With horseback riding, your...

Home activities like swimming, horseback riding, and narrating tasks can aid a special needs child's therapy and development.

 Fine Motor Skill Activities for Special Needs Children  Many children with special needs have challenges with their fine motor skills. Therefore, it is important to incorporate fine motor skills activities for special needs children in their daily routine. These activities for special needs children can be simple and even fun. Children with special needs will enjoy the activities and, best of all, benefit from them. While there are many toys that can promote fine motor skills, there are also many activities for special needs children that can be done with items found around your house. Not only are the following activities useful and fun, but also they are inexpensive and can be made by any parent or caregiver.   Sensory Boxes  A great activity for special needs children is a sensory box. Sensory boxes are simply boxes that parents and caregivers can put together. Sensory boxes can be made with a large plastic container filled with many different items. Many parents choose to use dry rice or beans as the base of the box. Alongside the rice or beans, add colorful items such as small toys. Try adding colorful pom-pom balls, spoons, and cups.  The type of items put in the sensory box depends on what you have on hand and your child’s needs. Many special needs children have a problem with fine motor skills, so activities such as handling different textures, using a fork or spoon, or picking up items with tongs will help...

Inexpensive daily fine motor skill activities help special needs children using household items.

Fine Motor Skill Activities for Special Needs

When children play, their brains come alive, and their brain function improves. Play is their work, and they learn so much while they interact with their peers. Notice I said, “interact with their peers.” The play I’m talking about isn’t sitting on the computer with the latest video games. I’m talking about the play we did as children: running around outside, role playing, etc.  Let’s talk about how play helps the three parts of your child’s brain to develop and grow. You’ll be amazed at what a simple act like play accomplishes.    The Reptilian Brain   Because the reptilian brain learns best with rhythm, routine, repetition and ritual, play activities such as nursery rhymes and learning an instrument are perfect examples of helping the brain develop through rhythm. Many children today can’t pass a steady beat competency test, which is a fancy way of saying they can’t clap their hands to the beat of a song.  For your child, repetition, routine, and rituals create a feeling of warmth and security, which quiets the reptilian brain and makes it possible for him or her to learn. If your child feels fear on any level, he or she cannot learn. So if play can help him or her to feel safe, it helps learning.  What can you do to help quiet the reptilian brain? Help your children feel warm, cozy, and protected. Keep the temperature of your home at a comfortable level, and keep warm...

Play stimulates children's brains, enhancing learning and emotional security by involving rhythm, repetition, and interaction with peers.

How Play Helps Your Child’s Brain, Part 1

Over 30 years ago, the former Chief of the Laboratory of Brain Evolution and Behavior at the National Institute of Mental Health in Washington, DC, Paul D. MacLean, first proposed the Triune Brain Theory, which shows us how your child’s brain develops.  According to MacLean, we have not one, but three brains that develop in a particular sequence, and each one has its own responsibilities and strengths. The three brains will ideally communicate with each other through the middle, mammalian brain. When they don’t communicate properly, we end up “out of sync” and have a hard time feeling safe, learning, and expressing emotion – sound familiar?   The Reptilian Brain or Hindbrain  The first brain to “come online” is the reptilian brain, also known as the primitive brain or basic brain. It takes care of the basics we need to survive, such as our immediate safety and our instincts. It begins developing at conception and continues through fifteen months.  As the reptilian brain develops, our vestibular system is also laid down. This system deals with our equilibrium, our sensory perceptions, and our orientation in space and time. When our vestibular system is fully functional, we can explore and learn. When it isn’t, we experience fear and reluctance, and then our basic brain causes us to withdraw much like a frightened reptile. The beginnings of dyslexia can be found at this early stage in our development.   The Limbic System or Mammalian Brain  The midbrain,...

Triune Brain Theory explains the development of children's brains in three stages affecting survival, emotions, and higher functions.

How Your Child’s Triune Brain Develops

 What some people don’t necessarily know about movement activities is that they not only aid fine and gross motor development, but also stimulate attention, cooperation, sensory processing, visual skills, speech and language development, and impulse control. For a parent of a special needs child, you know it is important to integrate all of these skills and help your child be the best he can be, and it’s incredible to know that rhythm and movement activities can help aid your child in so many areas.     Dance    Dance can be structured or free-form, and both styles have their own benefits. Free form allows for more creativity and self-expression, while structured dances work on following directions, listening skills, cooperation with the other dancers, and decreasing impulse control. Dances should be kept age appropriate and should always be fun and something a child can achieve. Spinning, jumping, hopping, tip-toe-ing, or galloping are great dance moves for a toddler, while an infant might benefit more from a Hokey Pokey variation in which the parents move the child’s limbs. Older children and adolescents might benefit from a dance to their favorite song.     Rhythm    Feeling a strong pulse is important for children, and enhancing movement activities with music is a great way to get kids motivated. Steady pulses encourage a regular gait. Children can clap or play an instrument to the beat to reinforce that rhythm. Rhythms also help establish routines, and...

Rhythm and movement activities boost kids' motor skills, attention, and more, and can be enhanced with dance, music, and props.

Activities for Kids: Rhythm and Movement

Parents of children with special needs often face a great challenge in finding afterschool, camp, and weekend recreational programs for their children. Most community-based programs are not designed to accommodate children with special needs. Yet extracurricular programs that promote socialization, friendship building, and other enrichment opportunities can be of great benefit to children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. According to one parent, “I looked everywhere for an after-school program for my son with autism. I found programs that would accept him, but they weren’t right. Finally, I found Kids Like Me.” The Help Group’s Kids Like Me Program offers day camps, after-school clubs and classes, social skills groups, and activities throughout the year designed specifically for children with ASD and other developmental disabili- ties. With a highly trained staff, Kids Like Me provides structured, supportive environments that enable children with special needs to grow and learn while having fun. The program includes field trips and recreational activities like games, art projects, and music performances. Kids Like Me promotes positive peer interaction, and many parents report that it’s the first time they’ve seen their children play with other kids. As Program Coordinator Nicole Webb describes, “Kids Like Me facilitates new ways for children to learn how to make meaningful friendships.” Furthermore, “the children’s curriculum for each component of Kids LikeMe is specific to the needs of the children who participate.” As Kids Like Me demonstrates, it is possible to find an outstanding enrichment program customized for children...

The recent airing of the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie  A Smile as Big as the Moon  created such a surge of interest in attending Space Camp that the camp’s website was unable to handle the flood of traffic. The site crashed last night, but it is now back up and running as a resource for parents and kids with special needs who are looking into the program, many for the first time.  What a lot of families did not realize before is that the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL, offers specialty programs for students with special needs, such as visual and hearing impairment. These programs include the same features as the typical Space Camp programs, but participants will also benefit from a presentation from blind and/or deaf NASA professional about working in the space industry and all the latest technology like tactile Braille displays and synthetic speech for computers. Space Camp has worked closely for years with many different organizations such as the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and the Blind to make this an inspirational and significant experience for all students. Two weeks before the students arrive for the Space Camp for Visually Impaired Students (SCI-VIS), the Space and Rocket Center technicians replace consoles in the shuttle simulators with Braille panels. Students will have access to large print text or closed circuit televisions with the text on them if that is what they need. SCI-VIS is a week-long program that includes classes,...

Space Camp's special needs programs gained popularity after a movie, leading to a website crash and increased interest.

Space Camp Special Needs Programs a Big Hit

On Prenatal Life:  The evidence is increasing–traumas while being carried in the womb have a lifelong effect and can change brain function and structure permanently. One study is critical in all this. Lancet reported a study of blood samples taken from 46 fetuses where the abdomen was punctured and a needle inserted into the liver. The fetuses responded with a 590 percent rise in stress hormone cortisol levels, and 183 percent rise in endorphin levels, the internally manufactured painkiller. It is clear that the fetus can respond to pain and can set in motion all the biochemical factors involved in pain and stress.  It is also likely that these rises affect other hormones. These enormous pains can be coded and stored for a lifetime affecting our behavior.[1] A trauma in the womb can change the set-point for noradrenaline output for life, making the person susceptible to lifelong tension, irritability, and hyperactivity (and hypermotility). While some stress is galvanizing and can aid adaptation, prolonged, inordinate stress can produce maladaptation: not for just the time of the trauma, but for a lifetime. Long term excess cortisol secretion can last a lifetime, damaging brain structures such as the hippocampus, resulting in memory loss later in life.  There is evidence that the more painkillers a woman takes during labor the more likely her child will be to abuse drugs or alcohol later on. Karin Nyberg of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, looked at medication given to the pregnant mothers of 69...

Prenatal traumas affect lifespan behavior and stress responses, impacting emotional health and addiction risks.

Excerpt from “Life Before Birth”

 Dear Developmental Doc,   My son is 10 years old with a moderate form of autism. He struggles in almost all areas of development, particularly since he is non-verbal. I have recently read that there are iPad apps that help kids like mine become more aware of the world around them. He does seem to enjoy playing on the computer, but I am not well versed on the actual mechanics of the programs and am concerned that he’ll get too self-absorbed and that the whole endeavor might do more harm than good. Your thoughts? – Marilyn P. Silverlake, CA.   Dear Marilyn,  Whether a child is verbal or not, if they are impacted by a developmental delay like autism, they may have serious difficulties with communicating. They may understand the literal meaning of words but not the tones in which they’re spoken. They may have trouble processing nonverbal cues like facial expressions. They may not look at people’s faces at all because there are underlying individual neurological causes that might be over-stimulated by eye contact. They might crave predictability and routine and their confidence levels may be low. Here is an introduction to some apps designed to develop communication skills and improve social interactive ability.   Popchilla–designed to teach skills like recognizing emotions or imitating physical actions.   Stories2Learn–allows families to create stories that teach routines and social conventions.  First Then–a visual schedule that provides predictability.  Speech with Milo–helps children increase utterance...

Marilyn inquired about iPad apps aiding her non-verbal autistic son. The Developmental Doc recommended various apps and provided usage tips.

  Successful Transitions: Start Early, Little by Little     Transition should be a step-by-step process starting as early as possible, preferably when our children are toddlers. You’ve all seen the milestone charts we get from our pediatricians at well-baby visits, right? Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, behave, and move.   For children who have special medical needs, there are also milestones for their illness including the self-care skills they should be doing independently. Many illnesses have transition plans which provide a step-by-step plan for keeping a child moving forward in areas they should be growing and taking responsibility.    One of the most common patterns of transition mismanagement is that of a parent who does it all even past early childhood. Then, the kid becomes a teenager and parents suddenly want the child to do more and take more responsibility. Of course the teen resists getting dumped on and everyone is set up failure.    So instead of falling into this pattern, wise parents lovingly lay the responsibility for medical adherence on their child in small, age-appropriate increments as early as possible. When we use choices and questions and allow our children to make their own decisions early on, they will grow in responsibility naturally. Lisa shares an experience:   “At about age six, my son surprised me by putting on his vest (a mechanical chest physical therapy device) and loading up his nebulizer with medication...

For smooth transitions, teach children, especially with special needs, independence early through gradual, age-appropriate steps.
