This is Molly and Carter Webb, of Ironton. They received services from the Early Intervention program, operated by the Lawrence County Developmental Disabilities. Early Intervention is part of a statewide system that provides coordinated services to children ages birth to 3 with disabilities or developmental delays, and their families. The local Early Intervention team includes Service Coordinators, Developmental Specialists and other service providers such as Occupational and Physical Therapists, Speech and Language professionals, and others to meet each child's unique needs.

At around 8 to 9 months old, Carter was not sitting up on her own or swallowing solid food. She was also showing signs of Autism, as she did not mimic words, make eye contact, or laugh.

After a visit with their Pediatrician, Carter and her mom, Molly, were referred to Early Intervention. Molly reports that upon receiving services, Carter “began to blossom”. She is now more accepting of new people in her life and continues to thrive. Carter is currently an active preschooler.

Early Intervention is linked to improved outcomes for children, leading to better cognitive, language, communication, and motor skills. Also, by addressing developmental issues early, children are less likely to need more intensive services later on.

Please Vote YES for the Lawrence County Developmental Disabilities Levy to keep Early Intervention services available to families in Lawrence County!

The LCDD has decided on the following contingency plan should the levy fail, however we are hopeful this levy will pass and our programs will remain intact.

A wonderful program! 🌈 ☀️

Did you know that Early Intervention (EI) is a statewide system that provides coordinated early intervention services to parents & caregivers of eligible children under the age of three with developmental delays or disabilities? The Lawrence County Developmental Disabilities EI staff and providers are highly trained professionals who are passionate about what they do. Research shows that starting services early gives a child the best chance to learn and grow, and may reduce the need for services later in life. In 2024, Lawrence County Developmental Disabilities served 184 children and their caregivers through EI.

I worry that the next generation is losing the ability to read and write in cursive. As an OT, I see so many benefits: it improves motor memory and writing flow, reduces letter reversals, strengthens fine motor skills, supports focus and self-regulation, and even helps with spelling and reading. For some kids, cursive is actually easier. And let’s be honest, it’s pretty too.
