The Value of December Community Activities
Parents teach their children every day in a variety of situations and environments – they are the ones who make the most difference in their child’s development.  In order to support parents in all situations and locations, we provide an opportunity for families to receive support and learn strategies to make outings successful through December Community Activities.  This is a billable service.  Davis Early Intervention has coordinated with several community agencies to participate in activities that are available to Davis County Residents.  You will receive a list of available activities and be given the opportunity to select an activity in which your family would like to participate.  Our Early Intervention staff will be present at the activities to provide support and strategies for your family to have an enjoyable and successful experience.  There are many benefits of receiving services in the community.
·         A child is more likely to generalize skills learned in natural environments. 
·         All children learn to understand and accept differences. 
·         A child is more likely to learn appropriate and effective social skills.  
·         Every child has an opportunity to participate in his or her community. 
·         Communities recognize that children with special needs are children first. 
·         Children and families experience a sense of belonging. 
·         Children receive the opportunity to practice their skills.
