For mums and dads of children with unique needs, the journey through preschool, school and life is full of big decisions and tiny moments that really matter.
Parents, carers and teachers work hard to give their special kids the best possible opportunities, but at times it is hard to know what to do next.
It’s at times like these that a Kids First Early Intervention Support Specialist can help.
Kids First’s Early Intervention Support Specialists are fully qualified special educators who are experts in children’s learning, behaviour and social development.
Led by Kirsty Gale, who has a Masters’ Degree in Special Education and more than 20 years’ professional experience, our Early Intervention Support Specialists work closely with Kids First’s psychologists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists and teachers to ‘bridge the gaps’ that sometimes form between home, preschool and school.
Our Early Intervention Support Specialists’ mission is to support you and your child’s educators so that your son or daughter’s needs are met in the best way possible. We are here to listen, guide, support and inform you so that you can be the strong and effective advocate that your child needs and deserves.
Kids First’s Early Intervention Support Specialists have extensive experience working with children with additional needs. If your child as a diagnosed disability, developmental delay or is currently receiving Early Intervention assistance, we can help you to navigate your child’s social and educational landscape in a positive and proactive way.
