Family service coordinators work with other service agencies. Most of a child s learning experiences in MIPP are through play. While play is fun, it is also serious work. These earliest directed play experiences are important for growth and learning. During MIPP sessions, parents will be able to participate and watch MIPP staff work with their child.
Parents also get to learn and practice the special play techniques used.
By taking an active part in these MIPP sessions and using the play techniques at home, parents and other caregivers can have a major role in their child s success . Parents are included in their child s therapy sessions. During these times, information and ideas are exchanged between staff and parents. MIPP also holds monthly parent support group meetings during the day. These include play groups for the children which are led by the MIPP staff.
