provide emotional support and guidance to families, lower intensity services and support inclusion for the child in mainstream settings. This enables early intervention supports to be well adjusted to the need of the child and family in a timely manner and avoids the need to rush young children to diagnosis. Children who require longer term early intervention supports will be able to be referred to early childhood early intervention support providers through a more structured process. (See Attachment A).
redacted: Section 22
The approach for early childhood early intervention will allow consistent early intervention support appropriate to the child’s functional impairment and family circumstances. This includes intensive allied health supports as appropriate and identified through skilled expertise.
