Early intervention represents
best practice in early childhood
Early childhood intervention involves offering specialised support and services to children experiencing developmental delays or disabilities. The goal is to enhance their development, overall well-being, and ability to participate in their community. A crucial aspect of this approach is equipping parents and caregivers with the necessary information, tools, and support to foster their child's growth effectively.
Supporting a child’s development within their natural environments, such as at home, school and childcare, ensures that growth and learning opportunities extend beyond formal clinical settings. This approach leverages everyday interactions and routines to build a child’s capacity effectively. Research highlights that the most significant influence on a child’s learning and development comes from the important people in their life, such as parents and caregivers.
