Early Childhood Development

Able2’s Early Childhood Development program provides practical, collaborative and nurturing support to children and their families. Our belief is that providing support as early as possible makes a difference to the development of children. Early childhood development support is also intended to benefit a child by building their capacity and reducing their future needs for supports.

Our Early Childhood Development team offers years of experience and expertise in early intervention in the Blue Mountains and includes early childhood educators and psychologists. Our approach centres on the child, but it also supports parents in helping their child to develop life skills.

More information

"Our team will celebrate your child's strengths, and encourage them to recognise these in themselves. We put relationships at the centre of what we do and know that when your child feels safe and accepted, they flourish."

Specialised Support

Specialised support refers to supports that require additional skills, training, or planning. We ask about specialised support so we can understand your needs early, confirm what we can safely provide, and talk with you about the best options for your support.
Please note that some specialised supports are outside our scope. This includes the implementation of regulated restrictive practices and support with tube feeding. If your support needs fall into these areas, we may not be the right provider. Where this is the case, we will be upfront and support you to explore alternative or more suitable options.

Allergies or anaphylaxis

Asthma

Behaviour support

Bowel care or catheter care

Diabetes management

Important to know:

Some high-intensity or complex supports require relevant support plans from a health professional and may involve additional review. We ask for this information so we can understand your needs and have an informed conversation with you about safe, appropriate, and effective support.
