First-Step Private Lessons are great to focus on your baby’s development more deeply that can happen in a group workshop.

First-Step therapy addresses a broad spectrum of disorders including genetic syndrome, brain injuries, autism and communication disorders, motor delays and disorders, low muscle tone, epilepsy, severe eating disorders and ADHD.
The therapeutic process is an intensive learning process in which parents actively participate. In fact, parents’ role is central in creating a facilitating environment for their child’s development.

Additionally, slings facilitate easy breastfeeding and allow caregivers to attend to daily tasks while keeping their little ones close.
