For more than a decade, the Child Development Institute, (CDI) has served as a vital resource for children and their families. Research shows that early experiences play a crucial role in children's healthy growth and development. CDI focuses on the development of the whole child, his or her early relationships, environments and communities. Using a family-centered approach, CDI helps parents take an active role in their child’s development. Early identification of issues and challenges, and effective intervention for children with developmental differences and needs, is critical during their early years. CDI serves as the bridge between research and therapy and provides support and education for families and communities to advocate for their children.
