EARLY INTERVENTIONS FOR ANGELS IN WAITING

by Jackie Peebles

Mothers provide infants the perfect environment while they are in the womb, nutrition and safety with the provision of amniotic fluid which keeps them from being damaged while their little bodies develop.  The perfect elements within the womb are readily available to the infants to decrease the stressors that could damage their neurological, cognitive, and physical growth.  Unfortunately, things may happen along the path to a normal delivery and some infants are born too soon.  The nurses and early intervention educational specialists from the Angels in Waiting team realize that these medically fragile infant are still ready to learn, and the team brings new hope of a childhood to these infants.

Early intervention is now becoming the primary resource for creating the developmentally, and medically safe environment that is necessary to help these little ones develop in the most normal pattern as possible.  Early intervention provides the educational, medical and therapeutic services to be the missing link for infants born prematurely, so that they may realize similar cognitive, neurological and physical progress as those infants that have experienced normal developmental delivery.  Early interventions services though the Angels in Waiting team start as quickly as possible with these babies that have either been born too soon or abused.  The combination of medical and educational expertise is the best strategy that these little ones can hope for.
