Our early intervention services are designed to support children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), disabilities, and other special needs. We offer comprehensive services in clinics, schools, and communities to ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive.
The Importance of Early Intervention
Early intervention is crucial because it lays the foundation for a child's future development. By identifying and addressing developmental delays or difficulties at a young age, we can provide targeted support that significantly enhances a child's cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Early intervention can improve long-term outcomes, helping children build essential skills, achieve milestones, and reach their full potential.
Comprehensive Evaluations and Assessments
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your child's social, cognitive, and adaptive functioning. This helps us tailor our interventions to meet your child's unique needs, whether they have ASD, a disability, or other special needs. Regular assessments throughout the intervention process ensure we effectively support your child's development and adjust strategies as needed.
Tailored Behavioural Interventions
Our behavioural interventions are designed to support children in developing appropriate social behaviours and improving their communication skills. These interventions may include one-on-one sessions, school and community-based support, and personalised behaviour management plans. By focusing on individual needs, we help children develop essential life skills and navigate social situations more effectively.
Empower yourself with the skills and knowledge needed to support your child at home through our parent training workshops. Our workshops provide parents and carers with practical strategies to implement specific interventions, boosting your confidence and ability to aid your child's development. These workshops are designed to address the diverse needs of children with disabilities and special needs.
We also offer group programs, such as The Best of Friends®, that focus on building social and communication skills. These programs are essential for helping children form and maintain meaningful relationships. By combining parent training with group-based skill development, we ensure a comprehensive approach to your child's growth and well-being.
Our family-based interventions involve parents and children in sessions led by our educational and developmental psychologists. These sessions use creative approaches to develop skills, set family goals, and foster a supportive home environment. We understand the unique challenges faced by families of children with disabilities and special needs and tailor our interventions accordingly.
Our Quirky Kid Shop offers a variety of resources for children with ASD, disabilities, and special needs. Whether you need specific tools or general resources, we can provide or source the materials necessary to support your child's ongoing development.
We commonly use the following tools for a variety of purposes and age groups when completing this kind of assessment.
The ADOS-2 is an observational assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It is a semi-structured, standardised assessment of communication, social interaction, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviours.
The Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System (ABAS-III) is a multidimensional assessment tool used to assess the functional skills necessary for daily living. It can assist in diagnosing disabilities and disorders.
The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence—Fourth Edition, Australian and New Zealand Standardised Edition (WPPSI-IV A&NZ) is an individually administered and comprehensive clinical instrument used to assess the general thinking and reasoning skills of children aged 2 years, 6 months, to 7 years, 7 months. The result is a Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) Score.
Quirky Kid® would not be the company it is today without our talented, inspring and highly professional team that is as equally committed to the mental health and wellbeing of children as we are.
Our clinic provides psychological assessments and personalised treatment plans to support your child's needs. Our experienced psychologists gather detailed information to explore diagnoses and deliver effective interventions.
