Join us for our next Facebook Chat with Stacy Ramirez, the Child Find and Outreach Specialist for Any Baby Can’s Early Childhood Intervention Program, also known as ECI in Texas. While each state has various programs and many go by different names, Stacy will share basic information so that even attendees outside of Texas will benefit from the chat.
This month, we’ve decided to move to an evening chat time. You can attend the chat on the Hand to Hold Facebook Wall on Tuesday, April 22nd, at 8:30 p.m. CT. With the success of our pilot evening chat, we hope to see many attendees!
Stacy will touch on what an early childhood intervention program does and how it relates to preemies and those who have had NICU stays. She will focus on how a child qualifies for the program, what the program consists of, options aside from the ECI program, how a parent can be an advocate for their child and work with their ECI therapists, what comes after ECI, and more.
Send your questions for Stacy via message to our Facebook page, and we’ll try to cover it during our chat!
