Interview with Marlo (Early Intervention)

1. What has been your experience with professionals? Doctors? My personal OB was really kind and had worked with me before with my 2 other kids. Prepared me really well. Was referred to a neo nataologist specialist and they were worried about deeper issues. Neo doctor was a jerk. Wanted her to abort the baby, and was really negative and horrible to work with. Want to go back with Megan and tell him off for how she was treated wanting to keep the baby. Had holes on her heart that ended up closing by their own. Most of the doctors were really good.
2. Did you participate in any early intervention? Went through ALTA… very helpful!! She gave her input all of the time. They were the most helpful. From the time she was 6 weeks old she was on an IFSP all the way through 3 years. LOVED the experience. Don’t know where would Megan would be without early intervention. All of the therapists would come together and work for 2 hours or so. Worked in Head Start as well.
