Children and families services at NALHN
Children and Families Services provide community based assessment and therapy to children with developmental delays by focusing on early intervention for children aged between 1-4 years of age.
Our team works collaboratively with families and their community to support children’s development and strengthen family relationships by providing services alongside parent/carer skill development programs. Each family is given a care plan which identifies priority areas for therapy and services that can be provided.
Therapies available
Depending on the need of the child, individual, multi-disciplinary therapy or group therapy is provided by our team which includes:
- Speech Pathologists
- Developmental Social Workers
- Occupational Therapists
- Dietitians
- Physiotherapists.
