Working Together

Early Steps services are based on Early Steps evaluations and your family's concerns, resources, and goals.

​Early Steps aims to empower each eligible family by providing a team of professionals from the beginning of services through transition from the program.

The goal is for the family to receive strong support from one person, provide a comprehensive team of professionals from beginning to end, and for the family to have fewer appointments and more time to be a family.

​Services are provided to the family and child where they live, learn and play, when learning opportunities happen during everyday activities and routines.
​
Most services will be early intervention home visits.

Early Steps FAQ

What is a Family Resource Specialist (FRS)?

 
​The Family Resource Specialist is first and foremost, a parent of a child with special needs. Someone

who has walked a similar path and understands the pressures and sacrifices that parents/caregivers

go through to raise their unique children.  We are your family advocate!  


                                  Mary Cancel is the FRS at Space Coast Early Steps



My job is to help you find the supports and resources that you need! I support families served in

Early Steps by expressing the views, perspectives, and needs of families at the local and State level.

​ will ask for feedback from you about our services to ensure diverse input regarding  programs,

policies ​and delivery of ​Florida's Early Intervention services.
​ 


​Please reach out to me any time you have questions, concerns, need assistance or just want to chat - you are not alone!
