Early Intervention

Since 1985, we have matched over 140 people with compassionate Lifesharing families, some partnerships lasting over 30 years. Our families support participants’ physical, medical, emotional, and social needs while promoting community involvement, volunteerism, employment, and family-focused activities.

Early Intervention is a team approach to setting goals and empowering dreams!

Parents/caregivers collaborate with physical, occupational, speech, and nutritional therapists, special instructors, Behavioral Support Specialists, and social workers to create an individualized support plan for their loved one. Children receive services in their homes, childcare, and/or any community setting they attend with their parents or caregivers.

Our Early Intervention services are located throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. We also offer initial evaluation services and service coordination in partnership with the Delaware Early Intervention program.

Child Care SWIFT Support

In 2020, KenCrest started a new business idea called the Child Care SWIFT Support program. This program helps children on the verge of expulsion from an Early Learning Center remain in their schools. KenCrest Special Instructors work collaboratively with teachers in the classroom to identify strategies that will help the child and teacher.

Special Instructors work with teachers to identify why certain behaviors are occurring. Together, they develop strategies to decrease those behaviors through coaching, collaboration, and demonstrations, which leads to a positive working relationship between the special instructor and the teacher.
