Early childhood intervention services

Early childhood intervention helps young children with developmental delay or disability and their families. It provides support to help children grow, learn, and join in community activities.

Family-centred approach

Family-centred practice is the gold standard in early childhood intervention services and is recommended by the ECI Best Practice Guidelines. It involves parents and caregivers as key partners with professionals. This ensures that supports fit each family’s unique needs and values to enhance the well-being of the whole family.

Parents know their child’s needs best, so Plumtree works in partnership with you to provide support where your child lives, play and learns. We take pride in how we work with families. Plumtree is part of the Early Childhood Intervention Best Practice Network, a group of 18 community-based not-for-profit organisations committed to delivering family-centred support to our communities.

You make the difference

Families spend the most time with their child and can make a big difference during everyday activities and routines. Children thrive in everyday environments such as the home, childcare, and the community

Having a vision, plan, and goals

Having a vision helps achieve goals and live a good life. We understand how busy families can be, with a lot to do and a sense of urgency to start therapy. Using Pictability™, developed by Plumtree, families can set clear goals and ensure everyone is on the same page. This helps guide everyday decisions and leads to a life that is important to you.

“Plumtree helped me trust my own knowledge about my child’s needs. I realised that I didn’t need to spend lots of money to make a difference; I could do a lot myself.”
