Support through the early years

A child's brain grows to 80% of its adult size by their third birthday. St. Joseph provides Early Intervention services to support brain development during this critical time.

How We Help

Home-based Early Intervention services

St. Joseph partners with First Steps to deliver at-home Listening and Spoken (LSL) services for babies age 0-3. Our Early Intervention Specialists provide coaching and support to parents and caregivers and use specialized strategies to help babies learn to listen and talk.

Early Intervention services are available in-person or through our iHear teletherapy service.
