Through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health provides specialist early childhood intervention supports to children from birth to 7 years with a developmental delay or disability.
We can support your child for up to 12 months during which time we can help you access alternative services.
Your key worker will be supported by a transdisciplinary team of allied health and education professionals including:
- Speech pathologists
- Occupational therapists
- Physiotherapists
- Early educators
- Special educators
The key worker works closely with you and your child in their everyday environments and routines, (e.g. home, school, kindergarten) to achieve the most effective outcomes. This ensures children learn and practice every day, not just once a week at a clinic.
Working with your child’s strengths we develop a plan of goals and strategies that families can follow across the week enabling your child to learn new skills in areas such as:
- Communication, behaviour and self-help skills e.g. eating, dressing, toilet training and sleeping.
- Developing motor skills such as balance and coordination or smaller skills such as drawing, cutting, and doing zips and buttons.
- Learning skills such as pre-reading and writing, problem solving and social and emotional issues such as positive behaviour, emotional self-regulation, persistence and waiting.
We also offer skill-based groups such as school readiness and social skills training.
