Frequently Asked Questions about Early Childhood Supports

Who is a key worker and how do they help my child and family?

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.

Read our blog for on the Benefits of the Key Worker Model.

How will the key worker model benefit my child and family?

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.

I only need occupational or speech therapy for my child, can a key worker help with this?

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.

Can children with autism spectrum disorder access NDIS early childhood supports?

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.

Why do you use the key worker model?

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

More frequently asked questions are available on the key worker model, the background and experience of our key workers, and how we deliver early childhood supports.
