From OTs to Key Workers: We’re Here for Your Child’s Development
Positive Changes With Our Key Worker Model
When you work with us, you’ll be matched with a key worker, who is 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 main contact for your services with us.
Additionally, they’ll coordinate services provided by therapists and practitioners on your team, which may include speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, behaviour support practitioners, and habit coaches. Our therapists provide specialist consultations and bursts of therapy to children when needed.
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.
Tailored Support for Your Child and Family
Whether it’s enhancing social skills, making new friends, increasing independence, improving communication or mobility, our early childhood services help improve the well-being and quality of life for your child and family. When you choose us for early childhood supports, you can expect that we will:
- Look at your child’s needs across all areas, rather than focusing solely on specific aspects of your child’s development
- Provide services and support in your home and local community
- Suggest ideas and approaches that consider the unique needs of your family to help develop your child’s skills
- Help you adapt everyday routines so your child maximises their opportunities to learn new skills
We’re Ready to Get you Started
Your first step to getting started with early childhood support is to meet with a key worker, in your home. They get to know you, your family and child and other members of your support team to understand the outcomes you all want.
