Kiri finds confidence through the Inklings Program

After supporting her older children with developmental differences, Kiri found herself paying extra-close attention to her youngest’s milestones.

“I was unsure how she was going. I was quite paranoid about her meeting milestones because her older two siblings have quite severe developmental differences.”

She noticed some encouraging signs—responding to her name, small moments of connection—but other things left her questioning herself.

“I was driving myself a bit crazy.”

At the suggestion of her occupational therapist, Kiri joined the Inklings Program.

“During the sessions, all the positive progress she was making became really obvious to me. It was pointed out in the session, and it was really reassuring to know she was heading on the right track.”
“Even if she wasn’t, it would have been good to know that it wasn’t just in my head.”

Inklings creates a space for caregivers to slow down, notice their baby’s unique strengths, and feel confident in the moments they’re already building together.
