The Melbourne University team has spent the last few weeks interviewing young people around Australia aged 10-30 with a range of disabilities or who are neurodivergent, about their perspectives on the interventions and supports they received when they were younger. These interviews are part of a qualitative study in which we have asked young people for their reflections on what they would tell themselves, their parents and therapists about their ECI experiences. This has helped the team to learn more about young people’s experiences (including what worked well and what didn’t work well) and their ideas about best practice in early childhood intervention.
The voices of the young people will be pivotal in broadening our understanding of the impacts and outcomes of childhood intervention and shaping the new practice framework. A full report including all of the themes identified from the study will be made available.
You can read more about the review on our dedicated ECI review page.
