  2. Our approach

Our approach

The Firstchance approach of integrating Early Childhood Intervention Specialists into our programs and collaborative teams leads to improved outcomes for children, particularly for transitioning to school. 

We work in your child’s natural environment  – working with what’s available in the child’s home, daycare, preschool, school, community group – this means that results are more sustainable as they achieved in the ‘real world’ not a therapy clinic.
