Early Childhood Approach
What is the early childhood approach?
The early years are a critical time in a child’s development and essential to ensuring they have the opportunity to flourish in later life.
The early childhood approach is aimed to give children 0-7 with neurodevelopmental conditions and those experiencing difficulty with their development, learning, communication, behaviour, movement, and/or mental health, supports to ensure they get the best possible start in these critical years.
