What does early intervention really look like for a family? On this episode of Waves of Awareness, you'll hear from both sides of the journey.

Parent Callie Ballard joins the podcast alongside Waves Early Interventionist Michelle Baker to share the story of Callie's twin boys and their experience with developmental therapy through the Waves Early Learning Program. Together, they talk about recognizing developmental delays, taking the first step toward support, and what early intervention looked like in everyday life.

Callie opens up about the emotions that often come with seeking services, the progress her sons have made along the way, and the encouragement she'd offer to parents who may be wondering if developmental therapy is the right next step.

Hosted by Waves CEO Staci Davis alongside Waves adult co-hosts Jeni and John, this episode also includes updates from Jeni about her work with Backlight Productions and John's excitement for a few upcoming fall events.
