Little steps. Share goals. One connected team.
Helping children learn, participate, and thrive through coordinated, family-centred early childhood intervention.
Footsteps delivers Early Childhood Intervention virtually Australia-wide. For in-person delivery in South East Queensland and surrounding areas, kindly contact us by submitting an enquiry.
Footsteps support young children with developmental delays or disability and the people who care for them. We focus on everyday participation, strengths, play, and practical strategies that families can use beyond appointments. Our support is tailored to each child and family.
Your Footsteps ECI Coordinator is your family’s dedicated point of contact. Behind them is a multidisciplinary team that may include Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) practitioners, therapists, educators, and social workers, according to your child’s needs. Your coordinator helps organise communication and align support around shared goals, while each professional contributes their own expertise.
Connect: tell us about your child and what matters to your family
Understand: we explore strengths, developmental needs, routines and existing supports
Plan: we agree on meaningful goals and suitable team involvement
Support: practitioners work collaboratively; your ECI Coordinator keeps communication connected
Review: we discuss progress, share practical strategies and refine the plan
Not necessarily. Your ECI Coordinator helps bring relevant input together and the team works with you to decide what is useful.
Where appropriate and with your consent, we can collaborate with educators and others important to your child.
Yes. Coaching and family participation are central to the model.
Not always to seek guidance or early connections; eligibility for NDIS-funded services depends on the applicable criteria and plan.
Footsteps is a registered NDIS provider, approved by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to deliver therapy services to NDIS participants, including those with NDIA-managed funding. We are here to support you in preparing for, understanding, and navigating the NDIS to ensure you get the most out of your plan.
The NDIS early childhood approach supports children younger than nine with developmental delay or disability. Children may be able to access early connections without becoming NDIS participants. Footsteps delivers provider services rather than the NDIA early childhood partner function. We discuss the child’s current NDIS plan, relevant funding and service suitability before commencing; age alone does not guarantee funded ECI supports.
We make accessing our support services as simple as possible by accepting self-referrals. As a registered NDIS provider, we are dedicated to provide support services to the clients/recipients of the NDIS and insurance providers including BUPA and Medibank Private, and workers’ compensation schemes such as WorkCover QLD.
