Infant Learning Program

The BBAHC Infant Learning Program provides family-centered services for families in the Bristol Bay region with children aged birth to 3. ILP focused on children who have been diagnosed with developmental or medical delays or are at risk for such delays. Services we provide include screening and evaluation, individualized family service plans to outline goals for the family and their child, child development information, home visits, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy, and/or referral to other needed services.

ILP Developmental Specialists (DS) meet with families in their home community, supporting families to promote the healthy development of their infants and toddlers in their homes or during sessions at the local clinic. The Developmental Specialists work closely with contract therapists who travel to Bristol Bay at least three times each year.

To contact the Infant Learning Program, please call 907-842-3398 or email InfantLearning@bbahc.org.

Families can expect to receive regularly scheduled developmental services from the Infant Learning Program. Services offered will match your child’s developmental needs. At age 3, your child will graduate from the Infant Learning Program. If you would like your child to continue receiving developmental services after age 3, we can help with the transition to school district special education services and Head Start/PreK programs, where available.

If you are interested in a no-cost developmental evaluation, ask your health care provider for a referral or contact us directly.

Infant Learning staff wholeheartedly believe caregivers play the most important role in supporting a child’s development. We are here to support that relationship during the first years of a child’s life.

Your child’s development: Parents or other caregivers can use the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ3) to learn about their child’s development during early childhood. Each ASQ3 is a simple set of questions about some things your child may or may not be doing yet. These questionnaires are quick and easy to fill out and can provide valuable information about your child’s developmental progress.
