What is the Key Worker Model
A big part of what we do is what is call the Key Worker role with NDIS participants.
Funding for a Key Worker is part of the NDIS Early Childhood Intervention approach.
It is evidence based and research shows it is the best way to support children with a disability or developmental delay under the age of 9 years.
The role of a Key Worker includes:
Assessing your child’s needs and goals
Creating a personalised therapy plan
Supporting parental learning in the home
Bringing in other experts (like OTs, Physios, or Speech Pathologists) when needed
Coordinating with the team of therapists
If your child has funding for Early Childhood Intervention and you would like to find out more about a Key Worker, get in touch with us.
