Foundation and Support

Early intervention should happen as soon as possible after a child’s needs are identified. It might include therapies, supports, education and so on.

You’ll also hear the terms early childhood intervention and early childhood early intervention. These refer to therapies and supports for children and their families in the early years from birth until children start school.

Intervention

Early intervention is the best way to support the development and wellbeing of children with disability, autism or other additional needs including developmental delay. It can help children develop the skills they need to take part in everyday activities. Sometimes children who get early intervention need less or no support as they get older.

Support

Equine therapy continues to grow as practitioners, families, and individuals across the country see how helpful it is for both physical and emotional problems. As the name suggests, this therapy uses a horse to provide a number of benefits to the rider while the therapy is overseen by a behavioral health worker.
