A Few Things

The Utah State Legislature has authorized the TC-40D tax form to be used again this year.  This form allows families to claim a child eligible for early intervention as an additional dependent on the state taxes.  It is a form you keep with your records.  I will be emailing the form to eligible families in the next couple of weeks.  If your child was eligible for early intervention in 2017 and you don't receive a form by the last week of January, please let me know.  I don't have a report on our data base that lists all children enrolled or eligible during the year.

I have recently heard about the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund and wanted to share with you!  This is a fund that promotes hearing-health awareness and accommodates the needs of the deaf and hard-of-hearing.  They provide quality hearing aids to the deaf and hard-of-hearing, provide resources, share inspiring messages, experiences, examples and role models.  If your little one is in need of hearing help and your family has no other resources to acquire hearing aids, you can fill out an application and submit it from the website.  Check out the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund on Google for more information.

Please remember that if anyone in your family is ill and you have a home visit scheduled, contact your provider and let them know what is going on.  We strive to keep everyone healthy (our Early Intervention family and yours) throughout the winter months and all year long.  We want to provide your family the services your child needs in a healthy, happy environment.  The service provider will be able to determine if they feel comfortable coming into your home, so please contact them to let them know if someone in your family isn't feeling well.
