Everyday Independence - Early Childhood

Our NDIS early childhood supports, or early childhood intervention services, help children with disabilities and developmental delay aged up to nine years to build skills wherever they’re needed—whether at daycare, school, home, or in the community.

 

A dedicated child and family team, led by a key worker, supports you, your child and others in their life to achieve the positive changes you want for your 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. 

 

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.
