ECI•Early Childhood Intervention

This is a wonderful parent/caregiver wellness workshop opportunity! ❤️

Thank you for the amazing shout out! We love our community 🩷☀️

Meet Mandie Stocchetti and Mandie Clark with Early Childhood Intervention!

Early childhood intervention (ECI) provides in-home support and therapy for children from birth to 36 months old who have developmental delays or disabilities.

"Being a family support specialist is honestly so much more than just a job to me," Ms. Stocchetti said. "It’s a huge honor to get to step into these families' lives and travel alongside them through those wild, precious infant and toddler years. It is so rewarding to watch a little one hit new milestones and see gaps in development decrease, but honestly, the absolute best part is watching the parents' confidence skyrocket. Seeing them realize they have exactly what it takes to help their child crush goals in areas where they used to struggle is just amazing. At the end of the day, this work is all about building real, genuine relationships—and I feel incredibly lucky that these families trust me enough to let me become a part of their "tribe.""

"First and foremost, I love that families allow me to walk along side them as they find their strength and their voice for their child. This has lead to some amazing connections and experiences for me," Ms. Clark said. "I also love working closely with all the resources that Billings and the surrounding areas have to offer! It's a great feeling to be a part of a team that can holistically care for the needs of any family! I am so lucky to work with a wide variety of families, community partners, therapists and others who all work to do the best by children."
