E9: Interview with an Early Interventionist FT. Lauren Barrick

The Speckled Bees: A Celebration of Childhood

Re-listening to this episode gave me chills because I am SO EXCITED to share such practical and important information with you! Lauren Barrick is one of the sweetest people I know and she is so knowledgeable and passionate! She is a mom as well as an early interventionist and is experienced on all sides of the equation.
What do you do if a child is behind typical developing peers? This can be overwhelming and so many of us parents and teachers don't even know where to begin, so we brought on Lauren to walk us through the process! We discuss what early intervention is and why it is important. We talk about what parents/teachers should looking for and what to do when a worry arises. She gives us some awesome resources that I will link below! We also talk about the stress of finding a quality early childhood program.
Lauren also lists some super great strategies to help aid in a child's development. We end with talking about the benefits of having people who think and look differently than us in our classrooms and homes.
