For more than three decades, All About Kids has provided a variety of developmental services to thousands of children throughout Northwest Indiana, including in-home early intervention therapies and integrated playgroups led by a therapist.
“Human learning and development are most rapid in the time frame from birth to age three,” says AAK Program Director Sally Gaff, “The earlier a child with a disability or developmental delay is diagnosed, the better the chance of bringing that child within a normal range of development.”
Early intervention programs like AAK are very effective in helping children improve, or completely overcome, their delays. In fact, 66% of children who graduate from AAK at the age of 3 years no longer need special education services.
“We are very proud of our success,” shares Gaff, “and are grateful to ABATE for being such a strong supporter of ours for so many years.”
