EP. 30 | The Cost of Late Intervention

Brain Power with Dr. Eko

Could you be missing crucial developmental milestones for your child simply because intervention came too late? Join us in today's heartfelt episode where we share an emotionally charged story of a mother's six-year struggle to get her child evaluated for developmental delays. We underscore the profound impact of early intervention during the critical period from birth to age five, and why timely access to speech, occupational, or physical therapy can make all the difference. Listen as we stress the importance of proactive parental advocacy during pediatric visits and highlight the emotional costs for children who do not receive the support they need in time.
In our second half, we tackle the real-world challenges parents face in accessing essential therapies for their children. We introduce an innovative program that bridges the gap by connecting parents with experts remotely, enabling them to apply effective strategies at home while waiting for in-person appointments. You'll learn about the mission of Glow Pediatrics, which is dedicated to providing virtual evaluations and support to families more efficiently. Remember, as a parent, your role is vital—reach out for support and know that you are not alone on this journey. Leave your questions in the comments, and let's navigate this together.
