Resources

Providing resources and education for the parents who participate in our programs is very important to us. Feeling connected and informed can give parents a sense of confidence while navigating through their child’s therapy and programs. Please feel free to use the information sheets below as resources. We encourage you to sign up on our mailing list or join our parent support group, so we can keep you informed on our programs and keep you connected with other parents.

Handouts for Parents

Via Services has developed a handful of documents on childhood safety and parenting that we would like to share with you. Many of these reference materials are used to support parents in our early intervention programs. They provide information on everything from identifying safety risks in your home and community to implementing positive parenting strategies. Many of our information sheets are provided in English and Spanish. We hope you will find this information helpful.
