Client Spotlight: Pee Dee Kids

At Pee Dee Kids, owner and Early Intervention Supervisor T’Challa Y. Douglas provides quality, family-centered early intervention services for children up to six years old.

Services happen through family training visits in the child’s natural environment, like home or daycare. Douglas believes every child grows at their own pace, and Pee Dee Kids’ mission is to provide quality care with close, personal attention for each family.

Service Area

Pee Dee Kids provides in-home early intervention in:

Darlington
Florence
Dillon
Marion

and parts of Chesterfield, Horry, Lee, Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester Counties.

What Is Early Intervention?

Early intervention

“A system of services that helps babies and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities.” — T’Challa Douglas

It focuses on helping eligible babies and toddlers learn the basic, brand-new skills that typically develop in the first three years of life:

Physical

Reaching, rolling, crawling, walking

Cognitive

Thinking, learning, solving problems

Communication

Talking, listening, understanding

Social/emotional

Playing, feeling secure and happy

Self-help

Eating, dressing

Finding Her Calling

Douglas originally planned to be a music therapist but switched her major to psychology to work with families in a different way. She worked as a social worker and HASCI Coordinator, then earned her MA in Mental Health Counseling in 2005, when she came to understand that the earlier services begin for a child, the better.

“I was then blessed to obtain a job as an Early Intervention Specialist and that’s when I realized that I’ve found my calling. That was in 2008 and I haven’t looked back since!”

What Makes Pee Dee Kids Different

  • Every client is treated like family
  • Every staff member has over 10 years of experience
  • Low turnover: two interventionists have been there 5+ years
Parents complete an intake with BabyNet to determine eligibility, then choose a provider. “Because we are a smaller early intervention provider we are able to provide and maintain quality family centered services,” Douglas said.
