What Can Early Intervention Do to Help my Child at Home and in the Community?
During the individual consultation at your home or in a community setting you will be able to meet with EarlyEd staff for advice and coaching on how to best support your child.
The staff will give you strategies to:
- Nurture your child’s development
- Teach your child how to learn new things in your everyday routines such as bath time, food times
- Engage in the natural play environment around your home, and your community such as going to the park, shops or sporting groups
- Develop skills for creative play, fine/gross motor, self-help skills, sing songs, listen to stories and generally have fun learning (e.g: library singing time)
- Assist with behaviour difficulties
- Support you with any other problems you may need assistance with
As well as receiving home or community visits your child may need to access other EarlyEd early intervention services such as support in childcare or school. Speak to your Key Worker for more information.
EarlyEd’s services and times are flexible and responsive to the needs of your family and child. We are family centred in our approach and together we can make a difference.
