The University of Melbourne’s Healthy Trajectories team interviewed young people from around Australia aged 10-30 years with a range of disabilities or who are neurodivergent. These young people were asked about their experiences of, and perspectives on the interventions and supports they received when they were younger. This included asking them what they would tell themselves as a young child, their parents and therapists about early childhood interventions. This qualitative study provides knowledge about what worked well and what didn’t work well and the key ideas about best practice in early childhood intervention from the perspectives of those who have received it.
The voices of the young people are pivotal to broadening our understanding of the impacts and outcomes of childhood intervention and shaping the new practice framework.
