The first three years of life are critical for a child’s brain development.
Early Intervention is linked with positive changes in functional gains for children and can positively impact all aspects of development and functioning including mental health, physical, social and cognitive development.
Early identification of developmental concerns and referral to appropriate services is crucial, particularly before children start Kindergarten. It is also important to refer early to account for potential waitlist times.
How to make an early intervention referral
Families may be eligible for support through the NDIS Early Childhood Approach if a child has a disability or there are concerns about their development.
Children aged under six don’t need a formal diagnosis to be referred. The service also supports children up to age eight, connecting families with local supports, guidance and advice tailored to their needs.
EACH is the NDIS Early Childhood Partner for South Western Sydney and can assist with referrals.
