Raising a young child can be both rewarding and challenging, especially when you start noticing delays in their communication, learning, or behaviour. Many parents in West Melbourne wonder how to get the right help through the NDIS Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) pathway.
If you live in Sunshine, St Albans, Footscray, or Deer Park, this guide will help you understand the NDIS early childhood approach, how to access supports quickly, and where to find the right Early Childhood Therapist near you.
What Is the NDIS Early Childhood Approach?
The NDIS Early Childhood Approach (sometimes called “Early Childhood Early Intervention”) is designed for children aged 0–9 years who have a developmental delay or disability.
It helps families access early intervention support, so children can reach important milestones in communication, play, behaviour, and independence.
Through the NDIS, you can receive services such as:
Speech Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Behaviour Support Therapy
Social and emotional skill development
Parent coaching and family capacity building
At Helping Hands Behaviour Support (HHBS), our Early Childhood Intervention Therapists use a family-centred and play-based approach, working alongside parents and caregivers to help children thrive at home, school, and in their community.
Who Can Access Early Childhood Support in West Melbourne?
If your child:
Isn’t meeting developmental milestones (speech, movement, social skills)
Shows challenging behaviours or emotional outbursts
Has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, or a developmental delay
Struggles with routines, transitions, or sensory regulation
They may be eligible for Early Childhood Intervention through the NDIS.
Families in Sunshine, St Albans, Footscray, and Deer Park can access this support even before receiving a formal NDIS plan—early intervention can start as soon as concerns are identified.
