Early Intervention

As your child grows and develops you will probably come into contact with a range of professionals who can offer you help and support.

Early Intervention simply means having help from professionals such as the physiotherapist and speech and language therapist, who will look at areas where your child may be experiencing difficulty and devise a programme to work on these areas.

If your child has high support needs you may feel that life becomes one long round of checks and meetings, or of having to allow a succession of people into your home. This can be very difficult to deal with, but try to remain positive about what they are doing and how this will benefit your child in the future.
