At Young Discoverers, we believe every child is unique and full of potential. Early intervention can be life-changing—helping children overcome challenges and thrive from the very start.
What Is Early Intervention?
It is support for children (birth to 5) who may be experiencing delays. This includes:
- Speech and language therapy
- Occupational or physical therapy
- Behavioural support
- Specialised education
These services may come through health professionals, community programs, or early childhood educators—like us.
Why Acting Early Matters
The brain develops fastest in the first five years. That’s the best time to:
- Boost speech and language
- Strengthen motor skills
- Support social and emotional development
With early help, children are more likely to catch up and feel confident.
Signs to Watch For
Trust your instincts. Some early signs might include:
- Missing milestones (e.g., walking or talking late)
- Little eye contact or response to name
- Trouble socialising or following simple directions
- Frequent falls or clumsy movements
It’s not about panic—it’s about being proactive.
What You Can Do
- Talk to your GP or paediatrician
- Access local early intervention services
- Learn about available support
- Advocate for your child—you know them best!
