EACH - Early Childhood Approach

EACH is the NDIS partner in the community delivering the Early Childhood Approach in South West Sydney including Canterbury City, SNSW, Greater Ipswich QLD and ACT. We work with families and children aged birth to 8 years with a disability or delay in their development.

EACH Early Years Specialists use observations, conversations with the important people in the child’s life and functional assessments to learn about the child’s development and how they participate in everyday life. They work in partnership with the family to work out the right supports to help the child and family achieve their goals. The supports EACH provide include:

Practical information about child development.

Connections to local mainstream and community services such as playgroups, childcare, parent support groups, parent education workshops and community activities.

Practical strategies for families to support children’s play, communication, social skills and behaviour during daily routines.

Working with families, carers and mainstream services to prepare for significant transitions e.g. starting school.

Building the skills and capacity of mainstream services to include children with developmental delay and disability.

Applying for access to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), if the child needs longer term support.

Please note children do not need a diagnosis or GP referral to get support. Families and referrers can call our Family Engagement Team on 1300 003 224 or fill out our online referral form below:
