Child Development
Initiative
N
oggin is an organization based in Chicago, IL that supports child development both privately and via the Illinois' Early Intervention system with various family services.Its therapists specialize in evaluating the overall
development of children through an understanding of their early relationships, and supports the child through the power of play. Therapists work with families to identify challenges in meeting the needs of both the child and family, bolstering parents' existing strengths for growing their relationship with their child. It is true that the early years can be a turbulent time for families: the initiative provides Social-Emotional supports and Infant Mental Health resources for parents of children who are experiencing a high need for support in one or multiple care environments. Noggin also works with parents to connect them with attainable and sustainable developmental resources in their community. By providing layered, meaningful supports during critical periods in the life-course, Developmental Therapy becomes an invaluable relationship for forging through many major family changes and circumstances. Noggin welcomes and proactively seeks participation of children and families of all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
