TUESDAYS CHILD
Tuesday’s Child provides behavioral intervention services for the Latinx parents and offer scholarships or provide services free. While we are in a pandemic with restrictions and social distancing, Tuesday’s Child has been able to provide virtual programming for Latinx parents of children with behavioral challenges rather than in-person services. What is missing from virtual programming that takes places with in-person programming is intervention to children. Tuesday’s Child also provides services for infants and children up to 3 years. We provide developmentally appropriate activities and guidance for new parents. This program also provides necessary supplies parents might need for their developing child. These services are free.
