Lauren believes in a family centered treatment approach and works especially hard to establish an open line of communication with caregivers, explain individualized plans of care, and review treatment goals on a consistent basis. Empowering parents and caregivers by building their confidence to implement treatment strategies in their child’s home environment is crucial in order for infants and toddlers to achieve their individualized short and long-term goals.
