Providing a Helping Hand for Special Needs Children and Families.

Developmental Differences Resource Fair

We are so excited to attend the Developmental Differences Resource Fair on July 22nd at 11 am! The fair is hosted by North Florida Behavior Consultants and the Jacksonville Icemen, located at Community First Igloo. Stop by our table to learn more about us!

 

This fair is for families who have kids with developmental delays and admission is FREE. Since school is around the corner, this fair will have the resources and tools these families need for their child to be successful. There will also be various trainings and vendors at the event. 

 

One of the hosts of this fair is the North Florida Behavior Consultants. They are a private practice specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and educational services to enhance a child’s behavioral, social-emotional, and academic development. They serve children from 2 to 18 years old who have been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, various conduct disorders, and more. Their services are conducted at homes, schools, and community settings. 

 

The other host, the Jacksonville Icemen, is a professional ice hockey league in Jacksonville Florida. They are allowing this event to be held at their newly renovated community first Igloo at 3605 Philips HWY, Jacksonville FL.

Tender Care PPEC provides care for medically complex and fragile children from birth to 21 years of age in a daycare-like environment staffed with nurses, CNAs, and therapists. We are the first independently owned PPEC in the State of Florida with our initial center opening in 1988. This means we have an abundance of experience and knowledge in providing loving care to this special pediatric population. We have 6 Tender Care PPEC centers throughout Florida, with our newest facility located in Lake Park.

Lake Park Location

Our goal is to enhance the development of each child through collaborative relationships between families, physicians, nurses, and therapists. This holistic approach to care is carried out in an environment that allows the child to engage in social interactions with their peers. This results in thriving children, well-positioned to achieve their greatest potential. We also offer transportation at no cost and provide nutritious meals throughout the day. 

What sets us apart is that we care for and treat every child like family. We have passion in our hearts for our children and a desire to see them succeed.

We are so excited to have a table at this fair and can’t wait to meet all the families that attend.

You can follow us on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
