NDIS Early Childhood Intervention Werribee

Our key workers are mainly teachers with a degree in education and specialist training in child development and learning. They will be your main therapist and day-to-day contact for all your early intervention services.  They support your child and family as part of a broader team that may include speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, behaviour support practitioners, and habit coaches.

Our key workers are mainly teachers with a degree in education.  They use their specialised training in child development and learning to design and implement strategies across developmental areas, including social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language. They do this in a way that engages your family and other important people in your child’s life, such as their teacher.  

There are some specialised areas that only a speech pathologist, physiotherapist or occupational therapist can assess and provide advice on. The key worker will link in these team members where this support is required. 

Our key workers use their specialised training in child development and learning to design and implement strategies to support your child’s development. These include activities to improve fine motor skills, language development, or strategies to help with sensory processing issues. Other members of your child’s team, such as speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists, can also use these strategies.

Key workers can deliver more than an individual registered occupational therapist, speech pathologist or physiotherapist as they can implement their strategies and activities as well as those designed by the team of therapists.

Yes. We support children with autism, autistic children, and those on the autism spectrum through personalised NDIS early childhood intervention services. Our team understands that every autistic child has unique strengths, interests, and support needs. Starting early gives children on the autism spectrum the best opportunity to build strong foundations for learning and development.

We use the key worker approach because it is the NDIA’s preferred, evidence-based approach to helping children with developmental delays and disabilities.

This model is widely considered best practice in supporting a child’s developmental needs because it leads to better long-term outcomes for the child and family.

The key worker model is a support approach where your child’s main practitioner acts as your primary contact, planner, and deliverer of services. The key worker coordinates support from therapists on your child’s team on specific goals and links your family to community services.  This approach is designed to provide personalised support tailored to your child’s development and support your family to build their capacity to meet your child’s needs.

The family-centered approach involves partnering with your family to understand your routines, goals, and priorities. It focuses on empowering you with skills and tools to support your child’s development daily, beyond just therapy sessions, ensuring the support is relevant and effective for your family.

This intervention can help your child develop language and communication skills, social skills, independence in personal care, motor skills, behavior management, and coping with transitions such as starting school or moving homes

Your child’s therapy sessions may include paediatric speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, behavior support practitioners, and habit coaches, who work together to support your child’s specific goals.

Your key worker will support your child to adjust to new routines and environments such as navigating transitions like starting daycare or school, adapting to new family dynamics, and using assistive technology to promote safety and independence.
