At Wellcare Therapy in Perth, we understand the profound impact that early intervention and support can have on a child's development. Our dedicated team provides comprehensive Early Childhood Support services, focusing on nurturing the unique potential of each child from infancy through their early school years. We work collaboratively with families to build foundational skills, promote healthy development, and empower children to thrive.

What is Early Childhood Support?

Early Childhood Support encompasses a range of allied health services designed to assist young children who may be experiencing developmental delays, disabilities, or other challenges that impact their learning, communication, movement, or social-emotional well-being. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that children receive holistic and integrated care tailored to their individual needs.

We focus on key developmental areas, including:

​

  • Communication: Supporting speech, language, and social communication skills.

  • Motor Skills: Enhancing gross motor (e.g., walking, running) and fine motor (e.g., grasping, writing) development.

  • Cognitive Development: Fostering problem-solving, attention, and learning abilities.

  • Social-Emotional Development: Promoting emotional regulation, social interaction, and play skills.

  • Self-Care: Assisting with daily living activities such as feeding, dressing, and toileting.
