SEIT services can enhance your child’s potential by providing the additional support necessary to help your child achieve early developmental milestones. Providers of these services are experts in teaching pre-literacy skills, math concepts, language concepts, problem solving skills and socialization.  Although SEIT services provide for individual instruction, children receiving these services benefit from the expertise of the professional team at Building Blocks.  Specialists such as speech therapists, occupational therapists and school psychologists are available to consult with parents whenever the need arises.
