What is Early Childhood Intervention (ECI)?

Early Childhood Intervention is a specialised service designed to support children from birth to 7 years during their most critical developmental years. At Happy Breeze, our focus is on enhancing key areas of development—speech and language, motor skills, social-emotional growth, learning abilities, and behaviour management. By providing early and targeted support, we help children overcome developmental challenges, maximise their strengths, and build strong foundations for school and everyday life.

Who can benefit from Early Childhood Intervention?

Our program is suitable for children who:

Show developmental delays in areas such as speech, communication, or motor skills.
Have a diagnosed disability such as autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, or physical impairments.
Experience behavioural or social challenges that affect daily participation.
Require additional support to transition smoothly into preschool or school.
Parents and caregivers also benefit through training and coaching, gaining confidence to support their child’s development at home and in the community.

What services are included in Early Childhood Intervention?

At Happy Breeze, we provide a range of evidence-based therapies and supports, including:

Speech Therapy – improving language, communication, and early literacy.
Occupational Therapy – developing fine motor skills, sensory processing, and independence in daily activities.
Play-Based Learning – encouraging learning through structured and interactive play.
Social and Emotional Support – building confidence, emotional regulation, and positive interactions.
Family Training and Coaching – equipping parents and caregivers with practical strategies to use at home.
Each child receives a personalised plan designed in collaboration with families to address specific goals.

How does Early Childhood Intervention support families?

We believe that family is at the heart of a child’s development. Our team works closely with parents and caregivers, offering:

Regular guidance and practical strategies to use in daily routines.
Coaching to build confidence in supporting developmental needs.
Workshops or one-on-one sessions tailored to family goals.
Ongoing communication and progress updates to ensure families feel supported every step of the way.
This family-centred approach ensures that therapy doesn’t stop at sessions—it becomes part of everyday life.
