Intervention for Early Childhood Learning
What is early childhood intervention?
Early intervention is specialised support for children with disability, autism, developmental delay and other additional needs. Early intervention should happen as soon as possible after a child’s needs are identified. It might include therapies, education and other supports.
It can help children develop the skills they need to take part in everyday activities. Sometimes children who get early intervention might not need long-term support.

Early Childhood Teacher Role within NDIS
As bachelor qualified Early Childhood educators, we can support your child's capacity building abilities to enhance their independence and improve their daily living skills.
Under Early Childhood Education, these skills could include:
· Cognitive
· Early literacy and numeracy
· Social and emotional
· Fine and gross motor
Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs) can play various roles within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) context, particularly when working with children. Some potential contributions include:
Educational Support:
ECTs can provide educational support tailored to the child's developmental needs and goals outlined in their NDIS plan.
Developing and implementing individualised educational plans that align with NDIS goals.
Therapeutic Interventions:
Incorporating therapeutic interventions, such as play-based activities, to address specific developmental or behavioural challenges.
Collaborating with other professionals, such as speech therapists or occupational therapists, to ensure a holistic approach to intervention.
Behavioural Support:
Collaborating with parents, caregivers, and other support workers to maintain consistency in behavioural approaches.
Progress Monitoring:
Regularly monitoring and documenting the child's progress in achieving NDIS goals.
Providing detailed reports and updates to families and NDIS coordinators.
Collaboration with Support Teams:
Working collaboratively with support teams, including therapists, psychologists, and other professionals, to create a comprehensive support network.
Parent and Caregiver Support:
Offering guidance and support to parents and caregivers in understanding and implementing strategies outlined in the NDIS plan.
It's important to note that the specific role of an Early Childhood Teacher in the NDIS may vary based on individual circumstances, the child's needs, and the goals outlined in their NDIS plan. Collaboration with other professionals and maintaining open communication with families is key to providing effective support within the NDIS framework.
