First Steps is Indiana’s Early Intervention program for children aged 0 to 3. These specialty services help support children to meet their developmental milestones. Last month, Jacob’s Ladder hosted the assessment and evaluation training program, previously offered only in Indianapolis. 😊

This training allows therapists to certify or recertify as a First Steps Assessment Team member. These specialized Early Interventionists evaluate each child to determine if they qualify for this in-home program. We had a great time at Jacob’s Ladder hosting the training, lunch, and in-person mock evaluation. Special thanks to 1st Kids who sponsored this event, and congratulations to all the therapists throughout the region who participated! 👏

If you would like more information about our local First Steps program, contact: 219-662-7790. For a free developmental milestone screening, contact Jacob’s Ladder at info@jacobskids.org.
