🌈 INTRODUCTION
Every milestone matters in a child’s growth — from their first smile to their first word. But when certain skills take longer to develop, early support can make all the difference. At Sunshine Therapy Centre, we believe that early intervention is not just about therapy; it’s about unlocking potential at the right time.
🧠 What Is Early Intervention?
Early intervention refers to providing speech, occupational, or developmental therapy as soon as a delay or difficulty is noticed — usually between birth and age six. This period is a “golden window” when a child’s brain is most flexible and ready to learn new skills.
Therapy during this stage helps children overcome barriers more quickly and build a stronger foundation for lifelong growth.
💬 How Speech Therapy Helps in Early Years
Children who begin speech therapy early often show remarkable progress in communication, social interaction, and learning readiness.
Our speech therapists focus on:
Encouraging early speech and language development
Building comprehension and expressive language
Supporting children with stuttering, articulation, or autism spectrum challenges
With fun, play-based sessions, therapy becomes a joyful part of a child’s day!
🧩 The Role of Occupational Therapy in Early Intervention
Occupational Therapy (OT) in early childhood focuses on helping children gain independence and sensory balance. Activities are designed to strengthen muscles, improve coordination, and help with daily tasks like holding a pencil or getting dressed.
Key areas of focus:
Fine motor skills (grasping, writing, self-feeding)
Sensory integration (helping children respond calmly to touch, sound, and movement)
Emotional regulation and focus
The earlier OT begins, the easier it is to build these skills naturally through play.
💛 Why Early Intervention Matters
Faster Progress: Younger children adapt and learn quicker.
Prevents Future Challenges: Early support reduces learning or behavioral struggles later in school.
Boosts Confidence: Success in small tasks builds self-esteem.
Empowers Parents: Families learn how to continue therapy strategies at home.
At Sunshine Therapy Centre, our goal is not just improvement — it’s transformation.
