The activity

Early Intervention, explained

Early intervention is support for young children with developmental delays or additional needs, such as speech and language, motor skills, learning, behaviour or social communication. Rather than a group class, it usually starts with an assessment and then a plan built around the individual child, delivered in regular sessions with specialists such as speech therapists, occupational therapists or special educators. Many families come after a paediatrician or nursery raises a concern, and plenty come straight from a parent who has noticed a delay. It can begin in the baby and toddler years and often runs alongside nursery or school. Each centre offers a different mix of therapies, so ask which ones it provides and in which languages.

Who it's for

Children aged 6 months to 12 years with additional needs, developmental or speech delays, learning difficulties, or behavioural, social or emotional challenges. Full day care is for ages 6 months to 7 years; tailor-made programmes are for ages 5 to 12. Services are in English and Arabic. Parents and carers can join the centre's parenting courses and workshops.

What to expect

The first step is a free consultation with one of REACH's child psychologists. Together you go through your child's full developmental and medical history, and you then get a recommended assessment plan if one is needed. Children in the full day care programme have specialised sessions built into their day; when they are ready, some start joining regular classes at one of the centre's sister early childhood centres for inclusion sessions that begin at 30 minutes a day, monitored by a REACH psychologist. Session lengths, timetables and fees are not published, so ask the provider. The centre accepts Tabby and Tamara payments.
