Barbara Kellar talks with Judy Van Ginkel, founder of Every Child Succeeds. Based on scientific principles correlating appropriate brain stimulation during the first 3 years with the achievement of full social, mental, and physical development, ECS maximizes the development of high-risk children. The program provides intensive home visitation first-time high-risk mothers and their infants for three years. ECS strives to decrease abuse and neglect, reduce unintentional injuries, strengthen the parent-child relationship, improve utilization of diagnostic services, encourage health promotion, link families with primary care services and promote an optimal environment for learning and emotional growth.
