Early Intervention
Giving your child the right start, at the right time
Ages 1 to 4 are the most important years for your child’s brain development. If something feels different, this is the right time to act.
What is Early Intervention?
Early Intervention supports children showing early signs of developmental delay, whether linked to autism or other causes. Between ages 1 and 4, when your child’s brain is most adaptable, this program helps build essential skills.
This program is often helpful for children who:
- Use few words or gestures to communicate
- Are slower to reach milestones like talking or walking
- Repeat actions, sounds or movements often
- Find changes in routine challenging
No diagnosis is needed to begin ; many families start simply because something feels different.
Location
Stepping Stones Center, Marathahalli
Duration
A structured 6-week program, with 90 minutes per day
Who it's for:

Noticing changes in your child's development?
If you've noticed small concerns, let's explore them together.
Is this program right for my child?
A good fit if your child is between 1 and 4 years, and you’ve wondered:
Why aren’t they communicating more yet?
Why are they behind on milestones?
Why are everyday routines such a struggle?
We help you understand what’s typical, what may need support, and your next steps without pressure or labels.
What you may notice as you start
Early Intervention is not about testing or pushing milestones. It’s about creating the right learning environment at the right time.
With support, children often begin to:
Communicate using words, gestures or visuals
Engage more meaningfully in play
Respond better to routines and instructions
Regulate emotions with greater
ease
Build readiness for group learning and school
Engage more meaningfully in play
Small changes made early lead to smoother routines and greater confidence for children and parents.
Noticing Changes in Your Child’s Development?
Early support starts with a conversation
What the first few weeks look like
A developmental screening and conversation to understand your child's strengths and your concerns.
01. Initial Consultation
A structured plan with clear goals, tailored to your child's strengths and priorities
02. Personalised Plan
Short, focused sessions that build skills through play with strategies to continue at home.
03. Daily Sessions
We meet weekly to review progress, reflect on observations, and adjust strategies that align with your child’s development.
04. Ongoing Check-Ins
At the end of six weeks, you receive a clear summary of progress along with practical recommendations for next steps, whether that includes continued support, home strategies, or school readiness planning.
05. Final Report & Guidance
Each child’s goals are personalised to their strengths, their pace, and the skills that matter most.
What your child will work on
Each child’s goals are personalised, but commonly include:
- Following simple routines and instructions
- Joint attention and shared play
- Building simple independence skills
- Emotional regulation and behaviour support
- Early communication using speech, gestures or visuals
Learning is built step by step — starting with play and attention, then imitation and early communication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a diagnosis to enroll?
No. Many families join without a diagnosis. We guide you based on your child’s current needs.
What happens after the 6 weeks?
You’ll receive a progress summary and recommendations for next steps, which may include continued therapy, home strategies, or school planning.
Can another caregiver attend sessions?

Will my child start speaking during the program?
We focus on communication in all forms — words, gestures, visuals, or signs — and support each child at their own pace.
