Early Intervention (0-4yrs)

Our Early Intervention Program provides a safe and supportive group learning environment where parents can actively engage, play, and grow alongside their child. Guided by early childhood experts, parents are empowered to work with their newly diagnosed child using the principles and philosophy of Conductive Education (CE). The program equips families with essential skills and strategies, helping parents extend these practices into their home environment to support their child’s development.

The program’s planning and practices are informed by a range of frameworks, including the WA Kindergarten Guidelines, Early Years Learning Framework, Australian Curriculum, and Carson Street School Elaborated Curriculum and Associated Programs of Study. This ensures a holistic and tailored approach to early intervention.

Families are also supported with access to valuable resources, including information on therapy providers, respite services, NDIS and other support organisations. Additionally, organised morning teas offer parents opportunities to connect with others facing similar challenges, fostering a sense of community and shared understanding. These sessions often include guest speakers who address common concerns or provide updates on relevant topics.

There are three Early Intervention Parent & Child groups at Carson Street School—First Steps, Stepping Stones, and Milestones—designed for children aged 0-4. Each group promotes the development of social-emotional wellbeing, communication, cognitive abilities, physical skills, self-help, and play, all within a fun, play-based learning environment. The programs are guided by the principles of Conductive Education (CE), with a strong focus on supporting active learning and helping each child achieve critical developmental milestones.

Early Intervention programs run for children under the age of 4.  Conductive Education – Parent and Child Program.
