According to the NDIS,  Early Childhood Intervention is all about giving children with developmental delay or disability, and their families, supports to enable the child to have the best possible start in life.

Early Interventions 4 Learning provides  individualised support to your child aged 0-9 years old. We can help with building capacity and skills for children with developmental delay or disability. 

The NDIS early childhood approach is about quick access to early intervention for your child. It ensures that children younger than 9 years old who have developmental delay, developmental concerns, or disability get quick access to support that is tailored to their individual needs and circumstances. 

(Please note that as from 1 July 2023 support is provided for children who are over 7 years old.)

Your child does not need a diagnosis to receive assistance. You can contact your NDIS early childhood partner, BUSHkids (for Fraser Coast), on 0741838920 ,email herveybayecei@bushkids.or.au or visit at 6 Tavistock St, Torquay.

We are still able to work with your child. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us so we can talk about how we can help. This may include helping you to access NDIS early childhood intervention funding.

The NDIS also supports children who are over 9 through their local area coordinators. https://www.ndis.gov.au/understanding/what-ndis/whos-delivering-ndis/lac-partners-community

No, we are not therapists or health professionals. We work in the role of skill development and capacity building, and aim to complement the supports you may be receiving from others working with your child. We can also help while you are waiting for your child to enter therapy.

Our Early Intervention teacher will work alongside others in your child's life, such as family, therapists, educators, and health specialists, to better understand their strengths and interests, current presentation, and to support their needs.
