This trimester at the Integral Child Development Center (CIDI) we have created some strategies so that the children of our beneficiaries feel safe in their new environment. We currently serve 50 babies a day, however, there are 120 babies between 6 and 24 months enrolled.
We conducted 4 talks with teenage mothers on topics related to symptoms of acute respiratory infections, management of flu-like conditions, healthy bonding between mother and child, and reinforcement of CIDI norms.
Through the teaching-service agreement established with the Universidad San Buenaventura in Cartagena and the Physiotherapy faculty, a therapeutic plan was established for each child, based on the babies' initial situation and taking into account the findings of the application of the Abbreviated Developmental Scale EAD. This will allow us to follow up the integral development of the children and detect early warnings.
