What do you think about this exciting news?!

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is developing a movie adaptation of "Hatchet," Gary Paulsen’s 1987 young adult survival novel. https://wp.me/pc8uak-1lHWxk

• The film will be written and directed by Derek Cianfrance, best known for films such as “Blue Valentine” and “The Place Beyond the Pines.”

• Per the synopsis: “Hatchet” follows “13-year-old Brian Robeson, who is stranded alone in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash with nothing but the hatchet his mother gave him.”

• Paulsen later expanded the story into a five-book series that included “The River” (1991), “Brian’s Winter” (1996), “Brian’s Return” (1999) and “Brian’s Hunt” (2003).

Did you know that Region 16 ESC has a program dedicated to helping babies and toddlers grow and thrive right from the start?

It’s called Early Childhood Intervention (ECI), and it’s designed specifically for families with babies and toddlers (birth to age 3) who have developmental delays, disabilities, or certain medical diagnoses.

Here is what makes ECI so unique:

🏠 Real-World Coaching: Services are provided right in the child’s natural environment, like your home or daycare, so skills are learned during everyday routines.

🫶 Family-Centered: ECI professionals work alongside parents and caregivers, providing the tools and confidence to support your child’s growth every single day.

🧩 Tailored Support: Depending on the child's needs, services can include physical therapy, speech therapy, specialized skills training, occupational therapy, and more.

Don't wait and see! If you have questions about how your child is walking, talking, eating, or playing, reaching out early makes all the difference.

Anyone can make a referral so no need to wait on a medical provider or anyone else.

Let's work together to give every child in Region 16 the strongest possible start.

Call 806-677-5228 to get started or complete the referral link!
