Early Intervention for Children With Disabilities: Home-Based Benefits

Early intervention is essential for children with developmental delays or disabilities. It helps build the foundations for learning, communication, mobility, and independence. At EnableU, we bring family-centred, home-based early intervention services directly to families across Canterbury Bankstown, Burwood, Inner West, and Strathfield.

Our allied health professionals, including occupational therapists and physiotherapists, support children aged 0–7 under the NDIS Early Childhood Approach—tailoring therapy to suit each child’s needs and each family’s goals.

What Is Early Intervention?

Early intervention refers to therapy and support delivered in the first years of a child’s life to address developmental challenges. It can include:

• Speech and language support



• Fine and gross motor skill development



• Daily routine and self-care training



• Behavioural and emotional regulation strategies

Why Choose In-Home Support?

Home is where your child is most comfortable—and it’s where real-world learning happens. Our therapists come to you, working in everyday environments like:

• The kitchen (for feeding and motor tasks)



• The bathroom (for toileting routines)



• The living room (for play-based therapy)

This naturalistic approach increases engagement and ensures therapy is practical, consistent, and meaningful.

Our Approach to Supporting Families

We believe parents and carers are the most important people in a child’s life. That’s why we include families at every stage:

• Therapist-parent collaboration during sessions



• Training and coaching to continue therapy daily



• Clear reports and updates to track progress



• Support to navigate the NDIS and service systems
