It is essential to conduct a careful assessment of the child's current level and family situation in all cases. After conducting the assessment, the programmes are tailored according to the skills and needs identified and the parents' priorities. The goals of the programmes might include increasing language, communication, social, cognitive, motor or daily living skills among others.
The programmes and plan of the interventions will be linked to one or more of the following services.
Early Years - Development Services
(children ages 12 months – 5 years)
Early child development checks are provided so that the main areas that might need attention are identified and get targeted as soon as possible by parents, carers or professionals (nanny, au pair, nursery staff). I often focus on early communication and language and provide personalised guidance of activities to include during play and natural routines.
Services
Evidence-Based Education, Behaviour and Parenting Consultation
Adaptive / Living Skills
(children 6 years +)
This intervention is designed to help the child or young person to improve social interaction, communication, hygiene, self-help, and other specific skills according to their abilities and needs. These skills will increase their level of functioning, adaptation and independence in daily tasks important for home and community life.
