Our Therapies
Early Childhood Intervention Services in Sydney
Our early childhood intervention team works with families across Sydney to reveal their child’s true abilities.
We believe great things can happen when children and their families have access to the right supports. We’ve put together a team of early childhood intervention professionals who work with your child, family, and other important people in your child’s life to support their skill development, wellbeing and participation.
Our Sydney early childhood intervention team come to you and connect your child and family to services and supports to help them develop their everyday skills.
Our early childhood intervention services support children with a disability or developmental delay aged 0-6 years.
Our early intervention approach aims to help your child to learn and be more involved in activities through:
- develop self-care skills such as getting dressed, feeding themselves, toileting
- interacting with others and making friends
- developing their communication skills
- assistive technology and equipment to make tasks easier for your child.
We use approaches that are known to work and use your child’s interests, strengths, and everyday routines to build their skills and independence. As parents, you’ll be supported so you can help your child to develop their skills in everyday life.
How we deliver our early childhood intervention services
We deliver early childhood intervention services under a Key Worker approach.
Our Key Workers are highly trained occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, teachers and social workers, who have specific skills in supporting children and families.
A Key Worker will be matched with your family based on the unique needs of your child and family and your child’s goals. They will be your main point of contact for all your family’s needs. They’ll provide your child with therapy support and will work with you and other services to help your child’s development. They will help you to navigate the NDIS system so you can support your child to get the best start in life.
