NSW Early Intervention Special Support Services

不好意思，因为这几天还在赶作业，没有时间整理，直接把我自己存档的一些信息贴上来，希望有所帮助。

Early intervention includes health, therapy, education and support services. It supports families who have a child with a delay in development or a disability. It assists families to help their child grow and develop. Early Intervention Services will provide information, and will assist parents to arrange assessment, support and a program to help the child.
For children under school age, there are some services to go:
·        Early Childhood Health Nurse
Will have information about how children develop.
·        Local Family Doctor or Paediatrician
Can look at your concerns and what may be causing them.
·        Local Community Health Centre
Or
·        Local Early Intervention Service
May have a number of different professionals who can give you information and help you to meet your child’s need.
·        Local Community Service Centre
Will have information about services that are available and may also have professionals who can help you or your child.
·        Preschool teacher
Can give you very helpful information about your child’s development and about services in your area.
So, here are some contact details of Early Intervention Services in the local area.

非常实用的信息, 加分了!! :)

各位有需要的妈妈们可以参考一下.

感谢littlelover和阿丝加分！
就是我当初整理归档的时候，都是针对的我工作的区域，其他区域的信息比较少，但是这里面有一些services是在很多地区有分部的，所以有需要的TZ还是可以打电话过去询问一下。另外就是要早booking。
这些services对Behaviour Difficulties也适用。
其实，如果你的孩子有什么心理上需要帮助的，也可以去免费的assessment center做咨询的。我们preschool的director说，她女儿有一阵睡眠不好，总是失眠，她也带她去过assessment center。:)
大家不用有什么顾虑，政府设置这些免费的机构，不就是要为家庭服务的吗。
