Our 8-week early intervention programme is tailored around your child and is conducted in the comfort of your own home. The programme works by coaching parents/caregivers to help develop their child's communication and social interactions with the world around them. The programme teaches fundamental skills such as communication, emotional regulation, self-help skills and more all through play while following your child's motivation at all times making sessions fun and enjoyable. Your early intervention specialist will come out to your home to ensure your child is at ease while showing you how to teach fundamental skills all in your child's own natural environement.
During your first session, your early intervention specialist will conduct a thorough assessment of the child's needs. This means the intervention is tailored to meet the needs of your child and is not a 'one-size fits all approach'. The early intervention specialist will work with you and your child to design specific goals that are meaningful. Each week, your early interventionists will come to your house and teach you how to best support your child with their new skills at natural opportunities that can fit into everyday family life.
All skills are assessed on an individual level therefore the following is not an exhaustive list
