For children aged 2 –6 years

The mission of Brain Train’s early intervention programme is to identify and evaluate, as early as possible, toddlers and pre-schoolers who are experiencing developmental delays so that appropriate and effective intervention plans can be put in place.

Brain Train’s early intervention team includes speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, early education specialists and educational and counselling psychologists. We work closely with developmental paediatricians.

Our programme aims to:

• Enhance child development and functional outcomes to improve family life through the delivery of effective, outcome based, high quality intervention services.
• Ensure intervention services are co-ordinated to meet the varying needs of the child.
• Support parents in meeting the emotional and developmental needs of their young child.

Accessing the Programme

Step 1.
Referral – children can be referred to our early intervention programme by parents, pre-school teachers or paediatricians.

Step 2.
Consultation and case history – an appointment will be made for parents to meet with one or two members of our early intervention team to enable us to gather a detailed case history and determine which assessment tools and procedures are appropriate for the child.

Step 3.
Assessment – one or more assessment times will be scheduled for the child, depending on the assessment protocol determined during the consultation phase. Children may be assessed by one or more of our team members. Our team can assess for a variety of developmental delays, including autism spectrum disorders.

Step 4.
Intervention – Following the assessment, our team will make detailed recommendations to support the child, including recommendations for implementation at home, at school and through specialist support programmes.
