Early Intervention
Give Your Child the Best Start, at the Right Time
Did you know that 95% of brain development happens between the ages of 0 and 6?
During these early years, the brain’s plasticity, its ability to adapt and grow, is at its peak. This means that children learn and respond more quickly to support than at any other stage of life.
Our Early Intervention Program is thoughtfully designed for children aged 18 months to 5 years who may be experiencing developmental differences in speech, communication, play, or social interaction.
This 6-week program offers:
- Individualised support for your child, tailored to their needs
- Practical coaching and guidance for you, the parent, to continue progress at home
Starting early can make all the difference. It helps your child build essential skills, gain confidence, and establish a strong foundation for lifelong growth.
What Is Early Intervention?
Early Intervention is a structured, short-term program that supports children during an important stage of development. It’s well-suited for children who:
- Are not using many words to communicate
- Seem to prefer playing alone or find it hard to engage with others
- Repeat actions, gestures, or sounds frequently
- Have difficulty adjusting to changes in routine
You don’t need a diagnosis to get started. If you’ve noticed differences in how your child plays, communicates, or responds to others, we can help you explore what those signs might mean
How Do You Know If This Is Right for Your Child?
If your child is between 1.5 and 5 years old and you’ve found yourself wondering:
- Why aren’t they speaking more?
- Why do they avoid or miss social interaction?
- Why are changes or transitions so difficult for them?
This program may offer the support and guidance you’re looking for. We’ll walk with you to understand what’s typical, what might need support, and what your next steps can be.
Who Is the Program For?
- Parents who want clarity and practical guidance
- Children who may need additional help with communication, behavior, or learning readiness
- Families looking for tools that support everyday life
This program is not one-size-fits-all. Each child’s learning path is different, and we adapt our support to match.
How the Program Works
-
Initial Consultation
We begin with a developmental screening and conversation to understand your child’s current strengths and challenges.
-
Personalized Plan
Our team creates a custom 6-week plan that focuses on building communication, connection, and daily life skills.
-
Daily Sessions
- 90-minute sessions, Monday to Friday
- One-on-one learning time for your child
- Parent coaching to help you apply the same strategies at home
- Simple home follow-ups to keep progress going
-
Ongoing Support
We stay connected through weekly check-ins to reflect on progress and make any necessary adjustments.
-
Final Report
At the end of the program, you’ll receive a summary of your child’s progress, with recommendations tailored to your family’s goals.
What Your Child Will Work On
- Building communication using words, gestures, or visual tools
- Responding to instructions and routines
- Engaging in play and shared attention
- Managing emotions and behavior in everyday situations
- Practicing simple independent skills
Every child’s goals are set based on their current abilities and comfort levels.
Your Role as a Parent
We see parents as partners. During this program, you’ll learn to:
- Support your child’s development in everyday routines
- Use positive reinforcement to encourage learning
- Respond calmly and effectively to challenging moments
This isn’t about becoming a therapist. It’s about giving you practical tools that work in real life.
“After six weeks, I didn’t just see changes in my child. I felt more confident and prepared to support them every day.”
