What is it?


Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) refers to a range of targeted support services for children younger than 9 years old who have developmental delays or disabilities. 


Key aspects

The Goal is to :

Identify Developmental Delays Early
Recognise and address any delays in physical, cognitive, communication, social, or emotional development.


Provide Specialised Support
Offer or refer to therapies and interventions tailored to the specific needs of the child to help them achieve important developmental milestones.


Empower Families
Equip families with the knowledge, skills, and resources to support their child's development and well-being.


Promote Inclusion
Ensure that children with developmental challenges can participate fully in family life, early learning environments, and their communities.


Improve Long-term Outcomes
By intervening early, we aim to improve the long-term developmental outcomes for children, increasing their ability to learn, grow, and thrive.
