Early Years (0-8)
From when your child is born to their transition to school, Scope will support you and your family with your child's development.
Scope's Early Childhood Intervention Services, Transition to School and Regional Programs for Young Children are designed for those early years.
Early Childhood Intervention Services
All children should be able to participate in their family and in the community activities of their choice.
At Scope, we recognise that:
- some children and families may need extra support to do this
- parents and carers are the experts about their children
Our team members include occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, psychologists, teachers and inclusion support specialists, who understand:
- Child development
- Disability
- Local services that may be of use to families.
Services we may provide:
- Better Start
- Family service coordination
- Goal setting
- Individual therapy sessions
- Consultation
- Group programs (including, communication, sensory-motor, swimming/hydrotherapy and gym groups)
- Equipment advice and assistance
- Supporting inclusion in your community
- Referral to other specialists
- Transition Support

Transition to School
Scope works with families and schools to assist with the transition to school. This can be part of the Early Childhood Intervention Service or part of the support provided by schools for children with a disability.
Scope is running a demonstration project in 2010-11 in Northern/Western Melbourne to trial improved models of support for children moving to mainstream schools. Hopefully this will lead to improved services across Victoria in future years.
