Our key workers, therapists and practitioners support your child and family to make positive life changes.
When you work with Everyday Independence, your child and family will be supported by a Perth based key worker and an extensive team that may include speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, behavior support practitioners, and habit coaches.
While each family’s team configuration depends on the child’s developmental needs and therapist availability, you can count on the support of a key worker, and at least one therapist for your early intervention services.
When you work with us, you’ll be matched with a key worker, a degree-qualified teacher with a thorough understanding of childhood development. They’ll take the time to get to know your family, what’s important to you all, and what you want to achieve. They’ll be your primary contact for your services with us.
Your key worker will coordinate services provided by therapists and practitioners on your team, such as speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, behaviour support practitioners, and habit coaches. Our therapists offer specialist consultations and bursts of therapy to children when needed.

As degree-qualified teachers, our key workers use their specialised training in child development and learning to design and implement strategies across developmental areas which include social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language. They do this in a way that engages your family and other important people in your child’s life such as their teacher.
There are some specialised areas that only a speech pathologist, physiotherapist or occupational therapist can assess and provide advice on. The key worker will link in these team members where this support is required.
As degree-qualified teachers, our key workers use their specialised training in child development and learning to design and implement strategies to support your child’s development. This includes activities to improve their fine motor skills, language development or strategies to help with their sensory processing issues. These strategies can also be used by other members of your child’s team, such as speech pathologists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists.
Key workers can deliver more than an individual registered occupational therapist, speech pathologist or physiotherapist as they can implement their own strategies and activities as well as those designed by the team of therapists.
