Infant Massage

Infant Massage

Infant massage is a brilliant way to touch & nurture your child. Using the techniques of Infant Massage developed by Vimala McClure are a magnificent way to further develop the parent/child relationship. Research shows that babies who are massaged: May sleep deeper and longer, spend more time active & alert for learning, increase bonding & attachments to their parents, & have improved elimination. Touch helps the parent & infant form a trusting secure relationship, stimulates brain development & promotes body awareness. Infant massage helps parents feel more comfortable in their parenting skills, be more aware of their baby, understand & respond to their baby’s cues, gives the parent time to relax & unwind, & can also help ease the stress of a working parent who is away from the child during the day. The Region 3 ECI program now has an Educator of Infant Massage, certification pending through Infant Massage USA, making this training available to parents & their babies.

Pathways

Pathways

The Pathways Parent Training Program was developed specifically to teach parents to address the unique needs of their toddler with autism. Our early autism intervention program is based on the most current research on intervention for toddlers with autism spectrum disorders. We use an approach that promotes communication & social engagement; helping these children become active participants in the world. The Pathways Parent Training Program is delivered in weekly sessions. With the support of the Pathways trained interventionist, parents will learn the skills & strategies to enable them to facilitate their child's learning & development. The Pathways Parent Training Program is manualized for both the benefit of the interventionist & the parent. Parents will master new & powerful strategies & use them to address the core characteristics of autism which will change the way their child interacts with the social environment & significantly minimize the effects of autism.
