“My five year old daughter, Ashley, attended a Healthy Beginnings screening and was referred to Early Intervention and qualified for speech therapy. She was
then much better prepared and ready for kindergarten. What a difference this has made in her life! We are so grateful for all the help Healthy Beginnings and
others have given to Ashley and to our family. I hope other families gain as much as we have from this wonderful program.” —- Kathie Spencer
