Applied Family Services Opens Its Doors to Help Families Navigate Developmental Delay Diagnoses
Applied Family Services exists to provide support, skills, and resources that empower families of individuals with developmental delays. The newly formed organization strives to supply quick intervention and tools for the family that aim to facilitate long term growth within the family unit.
Winston-Salem, NC, October 7, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Whether it's working through a new diagnosis or trying to understand how to practically adapt a family routine to meet the needs of a loved one, the path to regaining family independence can often feel like a like long and lonesome road. Although support for families dealing with a Developmental Delay (DD) diagnosis has come great lengths over recent years, home and community-based family coaching is still in its infancy.
Applied Family Services is excited to announce the new availability of services that focus on the specific needs of both child and family in a home-based approach. The founder, Shanee Howell, notes the great opportunity for authentic family growth with the newly available set of services:
"Applied Family Services is a wonderful asset to have in our community. I have worked with the founder in the past as a client and can say Shanee Howell is extremely educated, intelligent, resourceful, and caring about her clients. She did wonders for my son who spent 3 1/2 years at our local autism school and it was the best therapy our family could ever ask for. She goes above and beyond to help her families and we very much appreciate the opportunity to use her services in the past and in the future."
C. Anderson, Mother of Child with ASD
