Early Intervention Department Helps the Fleming Family
Early Intervention Services from The Arc of Warren County Prove to Be Life-Changing for Local Family When the Fleming triplets were born seven weeks early, they were referred to The Arc of Warren County’s Early Intervention (EI) program while they were in NICU. “The difficult moments that followed made it easier to cope with the support and guidance that the Early Intervention staff provided to me,” says Yerkis Fleming, mom to Frida, Sebastian and Carter. “They are extremely professional and genuine and have the best intentions for the families that they help. This is not just a job for them. They go above and beyond.”
