Has difficulty with fine or gross motor skills
Struggles with social interaction or play skills
Shows signs of speech or language delay

Our early intervention team includes paediatric physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and behavioural specialists. Each clinician holds relevant university qualifications and additional training in paediatric practice.
