Better Beginnings is a national online program that aims to support HeartKids families with children from Birth to 4 years old.
The program acknowledges that children with CoHD are at increased risk of developmental delay, particularly those who have had surgery before the age of 1. Often, delays are subtle and can go unnoticed until children enter formal schooling. Through early intervention, participating families will have the opportunity to access timely developmental assessments with our Occupational Therapist to gain insight into their child’s development and identify any developmental concerns. Our Occupational Therapist can also assist with referrals to local service providers as needed.
Through monthly online sessions, parents and caregivers can hear relevant developmental information and be empowered with practical, everyday strategies to support their child’s development. The program also offers the chance to connect with other HeartKids families.
