If you or anyone involved in your child's care—such as teachers, speech pathologists, doctors, or paediatricians—has noticed that your child is finding certain areas of development tricky, Early Childhood Intervention can offer meaningful support.

Early Childhood Intervention helps babies, toddlers, and young children build the foundational skills they need to grow, learn, and take part in everyday life—while empowering the families and carers around them to feel confident and connected every step of the way.

Your child might benefit from Early Childhood Intervention if they're finding some of the following areas challenging:

• Movement and Motor Skills: They may find it tricky to reach physical milestones like sitting, crawling, walking, or using their hands for everyday tasks like feeding or play.

• Communication and Language: They might be taking a little longer to babble, use words, or make themselves understood—or they may connect and communicate in unique ways.

• Social and Emotional Development: They may find it difficult to engage with others, manage big feelings, or navigate the social world around them.

• Sensory Processing: They might be sensitive to sounds, textures, movement, or other sensory input in ways that affect their comfort or daily routines.

• Self-Care and Independence: They may need extra support with everyday activities like eating, dressing, or toileting for their age and stage.

• Learning and Play: They might be finding it harder to explore, problem-solve, or engage with play in the ways typically expected for their age.
