Early Childhood Intervention
(0-6 years)
Support for babies and young children with disability and developmental delay to achieve key milestones in the vital early stages of life.
What is early childhood intervention?
Learning and development happen quickly in a child’s early years and can affect how they will learn and develop later in life. Early childhood intervention can help give infants and young children with disability and/or developmental delay the best start in life by helping them develop the skills they need to take part in everyday activities and be included in family and community life. The support received early on can potentially reduce the amount of support required in later life.
Our Early Intervention Services
We offer early childhood intervention services for infants and children aged from 0 up to the age of 7 with disability and/or developmental delays. Our experienced therapists help children learn key skills and achieve developmental milestones.
Early childhood intervention is not just for the child, but for the family as a whole. Our therapists work alongside families, providing the skills and support needed to improve a child’s well-being, increase their independence and promote participation in everyday activities.
Services are tailored to the unique needs of each child and can be provided at home, school, in our offices and in community settings. They can also be provided online and over the phone via teletherapy.
