In this week’s episode, we’re talking more about early intervention as I interview Allison Osipow, an early intervention occupational therapist. We talk about the evaluation and eligibility, the Individualized Family Service Plan or IFSP, and what service can look like.  We also touch on transition to public school and “turning three”.  Allison has a wealth of knowledge about both EI and OT so I’m sure you’ll enjoy the interview.
