Early Intervention Or Paediatric Service Provision
Early childhood intervention (ECI) is the extra support given to young children who need it, early in their life, to help them build their skills so they can take part in everyday activities. It is for young children who might have, or are experiencing, developmental delay or disability.
ECI provides parents, carers and families with the knowledge, skills and specialist supports to meet the needs of their child, to assist with their child’s development and to participate in family and community life.
We developed our current ECEI approach in 2016. It was the first national approach to early childhood intervention, supporting children with developmental delay and disability, and their families to achieve their best outcomes.
More than 70,000 young children and their families in Australia are currently benefiting from supports delivered through the ECEI approach.
Despite our best intentions, some children are not receiving best practice supports early enough, and families often tell us they are confused about how early childhood intervention can help them. In addition, many think an NDIS plan is the only or best option for their child.
