When your child turns nine, an Everyday Independence developmental educator will take over from your key worker, building on what we know about your family to plan paediatric therapy that drives positive change through primary school.
They’ll focus on supporting your child through transitions, like starting a new school or grade, while helping them build friendships, tackle social challenges, and meet increasing educational demands.
At Everyday Independence, developmental educators act as your child’s primary therapist, leading and coordinating their therapy journey.

This service is currently offered by the Central Adelaide, Southern Adelaide and Bayside therapy hubs.
