Early Childhood Intervention Key Worker Model
Early childhood support is designed for children aged up to 7 years undergoing developmental delay or any other disability. At Words Made Alive, we adhere to the Key Worker Model for early childhood intervention to help children give the best possible kickstart to their lives. It is by far, the best practice model identified by NDIS to support families undergoing disabilities.
The Key Worker model is family-centric where regular communication between the Key Worker and family ensures that the family develops necessary skills required for informed decision-making and goal-setting for the child. The Key Workers assist families in developing various goals along with individual plans that can assist in their child’s overall learning process.
What’s the Role of a Key Worker?
A Key Worker is an allied health therapist who possesses specialised skills in working with children in an early intervention stage. A professional having expertise in areas of physiotherapy, speech pathology or occupational therapy can qualify as a Key Worker. A Key Worker conducts an assessment with the parent or child to identify possible areas of improvement and design early intervention family support strategies to meet tailored life goals.
At Words Made Alive, we have qualified and trained professionals with vast practical experience and a thorough understanding of a child’s developmental needs. They possess the acumen to diagnose the needs of a child and parent from all possible angles and develop strategic plans for building independence and everyday skills.
