Specialist Children’s Supports

Providing specialised early intervention programs to support children and families.

At We Care Support Services we provide specialist therapies and interventions for children with developmental delay or disability, recognising the importance of early intervention in building a child’s functional capacity.

Our team of therapists includes qualified physiotherapists, speech pathologists and psychologists, and can work with your child through the early years, and later through school and beyond. Our therapists can support your family by providing tailored assistance, resources and information.

What is early intervention?

Early intervention means doing things as early as possible to work on your child’s developmental, health and support needs. These supports may include:

speech pathology
physiotherapy
occupational therapy
educators
nursing
psychology, or
family support and counselling.

How we can help

We Care Support Services Specialist Children’s Supports take a family-centred approach to supporting your child. This means a team of specialists from the above disciplines will work together with your family to deliver individually tailored services to your child.

For children not yet at school, this may be through a transdisciplinary model, where a key worker assists to coordinate the delivery of your services, manages links between all members of the transdisciplinary team, and ensures a smooth delivery of services.

School-aged children are usually supported through a transdisciplinary approach. This means a team of therapists, for example a physiotherapist, occupational therapy and psychologist work together to support your child.

At every stage, your family is an important member of the team, and they will be involved in all aspects of the program and decision making.
Our goal is to promote your child’s independence, inclusion, learning and health through:

individual therapies such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy or psychology
support and resources for your family
assistance with equipment requirements and environment modification
transition planning for childcare, kindergarten and school.

We Care Support Services also provides children and families with support through:

support in the home or in accessing community activities
recreational activities and camps, and
respite supports specifically for children.
