Australia (ECIA) was commissioned to undertake a
project, including a national consultation, to provide
recommendations for best practice.
One of the clear finding from the consultations was
that there are many different Interpretations and
understandings of the terminology frequently used in
describing early intervention service provision, including
‘transdisciplinary’ and ‘key worker’.
A number of SPA members were nominated to the
Expert Advisory Committee to the project, and had the
opportunity to review and comment on the first draft of the
recommendations.
The final report and recommendations have been provided
to the NDIS. Providers are awaiting further information
and actions, however it seems likely that at the least,
family centred and family focused services and routines
based and strength focused interventions, provided using
a coordinated and collaborative team approach, will be
identified as core components of best practice service
delivery in early childhood intervention services.
In the interim, it is expected that providers work with all
members of the team to support participants to meet
their goals; acknowledging and including parents as core
members of the team, who hold expert knowledge both of
their child and of their family capacity and culture.
