Who are we?

At Early Intervention Support Services (EISS), we provide outreach support to children, teenagers, and their families nationwide. Our dedicated team includes Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, and Allied Health Assistants, ensuring that all our families are supported on their therapeutic journey. More information is available on our website, https://www.earlyinterventionsupport.com.au/careers

Community-Based Psychology

We provide support exclusively through outreach therapy in the family’s home, school, kindergarten, or childcare. Outreach therapy can offer a comforting and school-friendly alternative to clinic settings for children, which can result in less therapy resistance and post-therapy session fatigue. For the Allied Health Professional, outreach therapy provides deeper understanding of the child’s challenges, promoting relevant intervention and support methods. More information is available on our website, earlyinterventionsupport.com.au/outreachtherapy.
