01 Who We Support

The Early Intervention Programme supports children up to eight years old with developmental delays, providing timely support to address their individual needs.

We empower mothers and caregivers to play an active role in their child’s development, helping them provide support through everyday interactions and activities.

We develop Individualised Family Support Plans (IFSPs) in consultation with parents and caregivers, tailoring support to each child’s needs and family circumstances.

We work with ASHA workers, Anganwadi workers, doctors, nurses, parents, caregivers and local communities to build a sustainable support system for children with disabilities.

Building Capacity Around the Child

Early intervention extends beyond therapy sessions. Parents and caregivers are involved in planning and supporting the child’s development so that learning continues through everyday routines.

Collaboration with ASHA workers, Anganwadi workers, healthcare professionals and local communities helps create a wider support system around children with disabilities.

Individualised Family Support Plans IFSPs are developed in consultation with parents and caregivers to reflect the needs of both the child and family.
