How It Works
Abeona provides well child and family health support services through home visits. We offer you information, support and developmental assessments of your child at varying stages between birth and 5 years.
Each visit gives you the opportunity to discuss parenting, family issues, your child’s health and development (e.g., nutrition, breastfeeding, sleep, safety, behavior, growth, hearing and vision).
Our staff will answer any questions you have and discuss any concerns. They can refer you to other agencies and community groups as necessary.

Parenting Lessons
Parenting is perhaps the most important job anyone can have.
We understand the enormous impact that a new baby has on the life of its parents, and the changes – and occasional difficulties – that new parents can experience.
With this in mind, Abeona designed a parenting education programme (PEPE) and also delivers the Parents as First Teachers (PAFT) program in the comfort of your home.
These courses help parents to understand how their child develops and learns, and how they can best help them reach their full potential.
