What is Early Childhood Intervention?
Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) is the process of providing specialised support and services for infants and young children with developmental delays or disabilities, and their families. This support helps to promote development, well-being and community participation.
Aspire Early Childhood Intervention provides high-quality education and therapy services to your young child with a developmental delay or disability, and to your family.
How we will work with you
Each family has a main contact person called a Key Worker. Your Key Worker is a part of a transdisciplinary team and may be an educator, a physiotherapist, a speech pathologist or an occupational therapist. You will work with your Key Worker on the goals you set as a family.
A Key Worker has specialist knowledge of child development and has experience in working with young children with developmental delays and disabilities. With support from other team members, your Key Worker works in partnership with you and other caregivers. They will provide advice, education, and therapy to promote your child’s learning, development, and participation in everyday activities.
Your child may also access specialist play and learning groups. These groups aim to help your child develop all the skills they need to be included in other education and care environments, like preschool or child care.
How we will make decisions with you
Your family is the most important people in your child’s life. You have the greatest influence on making changes in your child’s development. You are the “Expert” on your child.
Your family will be involved in all the decisions about what you want to achieve for your child and how you want to achieve it.
Where will my key worker and I meet?
Children learn best in the places where they spend most of their time. The best way for a child to learn is through play and everyday activities. A Key Worker will support you and your child in all the different places they go.
