You were a great teacher. Nobody taught you to be a therapist in someone's living room.
EI Foundations is practical, on-the-job training for early intervention providers — parent coaching, the developmental web, session strategies, and the survival skills no degree or state module ever covered.
It all rests on one idea: development is a web, not a checklist.
Every strand hangs off the ones beneath it. Trunk control frees the hands; the hands feed thinking; shared attention grows language. Pull one strand and the whole web responds — which is exactly why you build the foundations in order instead of chasing every missed milestone at once.
Every course here is built on that framework. Learn to read the web, and you'll know what to work on first with any child who walks into your caseload — no script required.
Start with the signature course. Add what you need, when you need it.

Twenty years with infants and toddlers — all of it, in one place.
Rachael Somerman is an Infant Toddler Developmental Specialist (ITDS) and CST with more than a decade as a developmental therapist and twenty years working with infants and toddlers. She owns and runs Unlimited Pediatric Therapy, a practice of thirty therapists serving families across Florida.
Her clinical focus is medical complexity — birth injury, feeding disorders, and genetic diagnoses. The children whose charts are thick, whose needs don't fit a standard protocol, and whose families have usually already been told a lot of frightening things by a lot of people.
EI Foundations exists because she never found one place to learn this work. It came in pieces — a degree here, a state module there, a conference session, and years of figuring it out on the floor of someone's living room. This is the missing place: the foundation she wanted when she started, built for everyone coming after her.
