The programme also aims to provide a framework for accessing and using the full range of Early Developmental Support materials as part of planned multi-disciplinary service provision. Early identification of needs and delivering appropriate support, with the child/young person and family at the centre, helps avoid developmental difficulties becoming entrenched and affecting other developmental pathways. It will also help professionals and parents to work together to ensure joined-up and continuous therapeutic input.
