Early Childhood Support
Our nationally consistent early childhood approach is for children younger than 7 with a disability or a developmental delay, and their families. Children, younger than 6 who do not fully meet the definition of developmental delay and have developmental concerns will also be supported through the early childhood approach. The early childhood approach was developed based on evidence-based research with the help of leading experts in early childhood intervention.

Approach
A childโs early years are very important as they set up how they will learn and develop later in life. Our early childhood approach focusses on being both family-centered and strengths-based. We do this by acknowledging that as parents and carers you know your child best.
Our early childhood approach aims to:
- provide timely support to ensure that you are able to access the supports you need
- give you information about best-practice early childhood intervention supports and how you can help your child
- increase your confidence and capacity to manage and respond to your childโs support needs
- increase your childโs ability to do activities they need or want to do throughout their day
- increase your childโs inclusion and participation in mainstream and community settings like childcare or recreation
- give you information about, and referrals to, other support services if needed, like parent support groups.
