Family First Child Development, Autism and family support services. Our experience has been extremely positive, and recent research bears this out.

Family First is a local company with strong ties to the North State community, created by partners with nearly twenty years of combined experience helping children with developmental disabilities. Together, we've developed a new and innovative approach to in-home intervention that we are very excited to share. We chose the name Family First because it not only speaks to our core philosophy, it is also the basis for our model of intervention; a model that empowers families to be the first and most important teachers in their child's life. This model, which emphasizes collaboration between the parent, tharapist and child, has emerged in recent years as an alternative to the unnecessarily complex, "tiered" system of intervention that has been widely implemented over the past three decades. But research and anecdotes aside, we feel the logic and simplicity of a program that puts children's development back in the hands of their families speaks for itself.

RESPITE CARE

To help assist those in need, Family First will be offering respite care to families of children with a developmental disability who have been displaced or severely effected by the Camp fire, free of charge.

***

Each of us in this community has been affected, either directly or indirectly, by the devastating wildfire still burning throughout the area. The tragic loss of life, homes, and businesses has been heartbreaking. Yet, in the midst of this ongoing crisis, we have seen an overwhelming response from the community to provide for the well-being of those whose lives have been turned upside down by it. We are honored to be a part of this community, and this effort.

For families of developmentally disabled children, managing even the common, day to day tasks of living can be a significant challenge. In a time of crisis, that challenge can quickly become overwhelming. Our hope is to give these families some time to reflect, to mourn, to attend to the needs of friends and loved ones, or to address the vital tasks related to bringing safety and stability back into their lives.

If you or someone you know is in need of respite care due to the Camp fire, please fill out the accompanying questionnaire. A staff behavioral therapist will travel to your current location and provide up to two hours of onsite respite care. Priority will be determined based on need and staff availability.

For questions or further information, please email us at: [email protected]

Please fill out this questionnaire if you or someone you know is seeking respite care for a child diagnosed with a developmental disability who has been displaced or impacted by the wildfire in Butte county.
