Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) For Kids With A Developmental Delay Or Disability
Early Childhood Intervention at Therapies For Kids
As a parent or grandparent, you know better than anyone just how quickly children grow, learn, and see the world in new and wonderful ways. In the early years of childhood you know best how to support and nuture your child. That’s why, if you ever have a concern about your child’s development, early childhood intervention can make all the difference. If your little one is taking a bit longer to reach milestones – like moving, learning, talking or play with other kids – it’s completely okay to feel concerned. Our Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) services are here to ensure that your little one gets the best possible start in life, helping them thrive and reach their full potential from the very beginning.
Whether it’s about movement, communication, play skills, social skills, functional skills of day to day learning and learning cognition, support for your child and support with and for your family is integral to helping your child reach their full potential.

The Benefits of Early Childhood Intervention
At Therapies For Kids we provide services to children aged 0 – 9 years who are living with developmental delays or disability. This can support a child with a delay in just one area or across more areas of development.
Early Childhood Intervention is the provision of specialised support services for children and their families. Our therapists not only support your child through coaching, we upskill, educated and empower parents and carers to best meet their child’s needs. Early intervention has been shown to assist children who are at risk of not meeting developmental milestones.
Because of the above, there is a government program known as the NDIS Early Childhood Approach. We work within this framework and can support you with access if appropriate.
What you might see in the early years include:
- Crawling / walking delays
- First words / articulation delays
- Fine motor and play skill delays
In early school years (Kindy – Year 3):
- Speech delays
- Language / literacy delays
- Social skills delays
- Handwriting / cognition delays
- Fitness / gross motor skills delays
How can we support and promote your child's development?
Early intervention has clearly been shown to help your child’s development, learning and social skills. Working alongside skilled therapists, you can help your child reach their full potential that embodies the 6 F-words (Rosenbaum & Garter), Fun, Friends, Family, Fitness, Function and Future.
Our therapists will develop goals with you and assist you to carry out a home program to support and reinforce your child’s therapy.
How can we help?
We use fun, innovative strategies to help kids get the most out of therapy and reach their goals. Our play-based environment makes it easy for kids to adapt while staying engaged throughout our sessions. We take a holistic, family-centered approach, working alongside you every step of the way because we know how important it is to be a team in your child’s journey. The goal of our Early Childhood Intervention services is to give parents and families the knowledge, skills, and support they need to help their child grow and thrive, giving them the confidence to participate in daily activities, both at home and within the community.
ECI can help your child improve their development through a range of personalised support services such as:
We know therapy works best when it fits around your family life, so we can provide the services in clinic where we have a comprehensive range of specialist resources in a stimulating environment or our mobile services can come to you – at home, childcare, school, or any other convenient local spot.
