The people... the children of Emanuel... are eager to be part of an educational support program. Recently, Emanuel has started working under the auspices of an already existing Child Development Center. This regional Center has been treating children for many years, dealing with learning disabilities, behavioral problems and speech and motor difficulties. Partnership with this Center is giving Emanuel the tools it needs to help their children grow, under professional, nurturing guidance. After Emanuel pays the annual fee to become part of the Child Development Center, health insurance coverage will take care of the rest.

The Child Development Center believes that through prevention, intervention, and treatment, children, parents, and the educational system as a whole, can be saved years of emotional heartache, compounding frustration, behavioral complications, and financial burdens. By evaluating problems early on, during the neurological development of the child, children can start getting help for their language and speech problems and get treatment for their sensory, gross and fine motor delays. Physical therapists can catch problems early on, and the children pinpointed can be sent immediately for appropriate therapy. The Center will provide occupational, speech and physical therapy.
