Baby Safety this Summer
Now that summertime is in full swing, I wanted to let my NetworkforMoms.org buddies know about several recent articles that have appeared on the news feeds (in the right panel, just scroll down) in regard to baby safety issues, food safety and parenting:

Most importantly, I wanted to inform residents of Massachusetts that all children between the ages of
0 - 3 years old who qualify for the Massachusetts Early Intervention Program will receive services at no charge. The income-based fee has been waived for every income bracket (the fee was between $0 -$1500 per child based on income!).
Anyone can make an appointment with Early Intervention and they will send a team of professionals to your home to examine your baby or young child for any developmental delays (speech, motor, etc.). This meeting is at no cost to the family as well. If it is determined that your child needs services, they will send professionals once a week to your home and provide whatever necessary services your child requires. For more information, here is the link: http://www.massresources.org/early-intervention.html
If you want to check the Early Intervention services in your state, here is the link:http://ectacenter.org/contact/ptccoord.asp
I discuss my brief experience with the Early Intervention program on my 'Tidbits! **NEW**' tab. Just click here: http://networkformoms.blogspot.com/p/tidbits-new.html
