Testimonials:

Indian Children’s Program, UNM Center for Developmental Disabilities services is a valuable service for children.  It is definitely an essential service and must acknowledge the staff for listing and acknowledging what Indian families are saying and for there continues support and assistance.  For the Indian families communication is critical.

Jeanette Trancosa, Parent, San Felipe Pueblo

The University of New Mexico School Of Medicine’s Indian Children’s Program (ICP) had provided critical and much needed outreach, consultation and critical assessments to poor and medically challenged children and their families in our school district.
Many of our families live in remote canyons and mesa’s necessitating that their children be housed in dormitories during the week so that they can be bused to school.  Couples with poverty are the attendant issues of unemployment, high rates of addiction and sucidality and children born with developmental delays and genetic anomalies.  The Four Corners lack adequate services, in particular child and adolescent medical and mental health professionals, to adequately serve these children and their families.  ICP has been an invaluable and greatly appreciated outreach service to our schools and community.  They have met with families, provided critical assessments, diagnostics, and recommendation for vulnerable children, and given much needed consultation and guidance to schools attempting to plan and provide relevant academic interventions.

Sharon Cooke, LISW

This program has done a lot of services for our Indian Children and Staff here at San Felipe Pueblo Head Start. As well as providing parenting training for our parents and community.  We need their services and support from this program.

Bertha Candelaria
Disabilities/Mental Health Coordinator

As a developmental specialist with NAPPR, I have consistently used the ICP evaluation teams to examine the developmental needs of the Native American Children (0-3) that I work with.  The Indian Children’s Program has consistently provided high quality evaluations, coupled with excellent support strategies and follow up.
The individuals who have been affiliated with ICP have employed a great deal of sensitivity & Support for the families I have referred.  I have always valued their expertise, knowledge and flexibilities.
