What We Do
About Play Provides Early Intervention Services in South Carolina throughout 19 Counties
About Play provides early intervention services in South Carolina. These services include Family Training and Service Coordination to children and families in the following counties: York, Chester, Lancaster, Fairfield, Richland, Lexington, Newberry, Spartanburg, Union, Cherokee, Kershaw, Sumter, Lee, Darlington, Florence, Marion, Dillon, Clarendon, and Williamsburg.
We work with infants and children birth to six years of age who are eligible through BabyNet or DDSN.
Family Training is provided in the family’s home or daycare with their About Play Early Interventionist (EI). The EI works with the family and caregivers to teach their child through play and everyday routines.
During the first years, children are learning through play to master skills and solve everyday problems. Some important play skills include cause & effect, imitation, how things fit together, and symbolic learning.
About Play home visits will focus on activities with your infant or child during everyday routines. These activities promote your child’s social-emotional, communication, motor skills, adaptive, and cognitive development. Our EIs assist families in accessing available community resources such as respite care, Summer support services, therapy services, autism services, nursing, audiology, and assistive technology.
