Early Intervention Support Program

The Early Intervention class aims to:

• support families in facilitating the development and care of their child
• provide quality educational programs for children
• support the co-ordination of interdisciplinary services to children and families
• promote the generalisation of skills across environments
• achieve co-ordinated transition to school procedures for children

Eligibility

Children from the age 3 years to school entry who have a disability are eligible for the intervention support class service.

Funding for the class is supported by a grant from the Commonwealth Young Children with Disabilities, Intervention Support Program. In order to comply with current Commonwealth program guidelines, the following definition of a child with a disability is used:

    ... a student (child) who has been accessed by a person with relevant qualifications as having intellectual, sensory, physical, social / emotional or multiple impairments (Commonwealth Programs for Schools, Administrative Guidelines p.48).
