Early Childhood Intervention is a term that refers to providing extra developmental support and resources to children, including those that have developmental delays or disabilities. The goal is to give families with these children assistance and support to maximize their child's development in many ways - physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally.
Support in the early years is the best way to help children develop the skills they need to take part in everyday activities. Sometimes children who receive early intervention need less, or no, support as they get older.

If you are concerned about your child's development, talking to a professional is the best place to start. This could include your doctor, pediatrician, child health service or early childhood educator.
Your child does NOT need a diagnosis to access help. You can contact the NDIS early childhood partner for the Fraser Coast, BUSHkids, who can work with you to develop a plan to work on the delays in your child's development.
BUSHkids, the NDIS early childhood partner for the Fraser Coast, can work with you and your child (aged 0-9) to improve their development and help them reach their full potential. Where more intensive early intervention supports are required, the BUSHkids team will help you develop an NDIS Plan to access the funding your child needs on a more long-term basis.
(All BUSHkids services are provided free of charge.)
