Fertile Grounds Series - Strong Starts


Listen Later

Welcome to another episode of the TAMIU Fertile Grounds Series podcast! Host Lance Kelly is joined by Eric Castillo, Child Find Coordinator at CACOST Early Head Start, and Gabriela Perez, Clinical Director at SCAN (Serving Children and Adults in Need).


We begin with Eric, who discusses his work with Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) and Project Niños, focusing on raising awareness and educating others about recognizing developmental issues in young children. He passionately shares the impact of this mission and how his own experiences as a parent have deepened his understanding of early development.


Next, Gabriela talks about her role at SCAN and her involvement in Project HOPES (Healthy Outcomes through Prevention and Early Support). She highlights how these programs provide developmental screenings and support for families, helping children build social and emotional skills from infancy through toddlerhood. Gabriela also details the wide range of services offered to families and the significance of her work in fostering healthy childhood development.
