Early childhood intervention is a term that is often used to refer to therapies and specialised support for children with developmental concerns, developmental delay or a disability.
KU acknowledges that every child develops differently and, most importantly, that families know their child best. At KU you will find a variety of programs and therapy options to support your child and family's individual needs in targeted locations across NSW and Victoria.
As a registered provider of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Early Childhood Supports, our early childhood intervention programs and services can be accessed through various pathways, including a child’s NDIS Plan, a Medicare plan approved by a General Practitioner (GP) or via fee-for-service options.

Early childhood intervention support options are provided by a dedicated multidisciplinary team of qualified and experienced professional therapists who each have a strong understanding of child development and the principles and practices related to their field of expertise.
Working collaboratively with each child’s family and support network, they provide assessments and therapy options to reflect the individual needs, strengths and learning goals of each child.
