Early Intervention Service

MouthWorks is an NDIS registered Early Childhood Intervention Provider. Our ECEI team consists of a Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist and Dietitian. Together we will work with you to create a care plan for your child.

MOUTHWORKS CAN HELP

The NDIS Program for children aged 0 to 6 years is known as the Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) approach. The ECEI program provides access to services for children with a developmental delay or disability.

A TEAM BASED APPROACH TO CARE

MouthWorks is one of the few NDIS Registered ECEI Providers in Tasmania. Our approach to the ECEI program brings our experienced team of health care professionals together to provide a comprehensive and personalised care plan for your child.

After initial assessment, our team will allocate the most appropriate therapist for your child and will arrange a program to be followed by that therapist. Our team will make contact with you every 6 months to check your progress and tweak your child's program.
