ESLS is an 18 month intervention specifically targeting the well-being, permanency, school readiness and safety of children 0-7 years old who were perinatally exposed to HIV. Building upon our current multi-disciplinary team, this new grant will allow us to enhance our early intervention, education advocacy and play therapy services. The main goal of the program is to assist children living with an HIV+ parent in achieving age-appropriate developmental milestones and educational goals.
