Early Support

Early Support is a Government initiative to help and support families who have a baby or young child with a disability (but the approach can also be used with children of any age).

Early Support materials have been designed with parents and carers in response to their experiences and the aim is to improve the way families and professionals work together. Early support offers a parent led approach which coordinates a single plan of support and services for the child and family.
