Disability Support for children

NDIS Early childhood approach

UnitingCare is the NDIS Early Childhood Partner in Townsville, Mackay, the Gold Coast and Toowoomba

We aim to provide parents and families with knowledge, skills and support, to help children grow into their potential.

Our service is free – you don’t need a formal diagnosis to speak with us. The early childhood approach is funded by the NDIS and can offer a range of supports for children aged from birth to 7 years with developmental delay or disability and their families. (The early childhood approach used to be called early childhood early intervention.)

 

How we can help

The early childhood approach is available to children aged under 7 with a developmental delay or disability.

Each child and family is unique and so developmental delays and disability can look different for every child. If you’re concerned about how your child plays and move around, how they do things to take care of themselves, how they socialise with other children, or how they communicate their needs and wants - we can help.

Support provided early will give your child the best chance of achieving their potential.

You can contact us for a free, confidential discussion.
