Our early intervention specialist, has 13 years of Special Education teaching experience, with 11 of those years spent teaching in an autism specific specialist school.
Over the years, particularly whilst teaching the younger years, she has noticed the need for personalised support and intervention for children and their families prior to attending school. Whilst building the confidence and capacity of families and their child with strategies and skill building, these supports need to go beyond just the child and family unit and into the child's early childhood setting so that those supporting the child prior to school can feel confident and supported adapting resources and putting necessary supports in place.
Early intervention can help a child with a disability or developmental delay get the best start to life. The earlier your child is able to access appropriate intervention supports, the better the outcome is likely to be.
