What is Early Intervention?
Individualised, evidence-based support for children living with disability or developmental delay, delivered at home, at school or in the community. Early Intervention is about building skills — for the child and for the important people around them — to support everyday activities and help young people who face day-to-day challenges.
At YesAbility, we apply best practice in early childhood intervention. We help children and families build their capacity and support greater inclusion in community and everyday settings, so every child has the chance to grow and learn.
Positive outcomes come in part from building your confidence and capacity to understand and respond to your child’s support needs; growing your child’s ability to do the things they need or want to do throughout their day; and increasing their inclusion and participation in mainstream and community settings such as childcare or recreation.
