⚠️ A Common Question Parents Ask
Many parents worry about timing.
You may be asking yourself:
“Is my child too young to start therapy?”
“Should we wait and see how things develop?”
“What should my child really be learning at this age?”
“I don’t want to push too hard — but I also don’t want to miss the right window.”
These questions are natural. Early intervention is not about doing everything early — it is about doing the right things at the right time.
🤝 What Early Intervention Means at ARN
At ARN, early intervention focuses on building foundations, not rushing outcomes. Our team uses ABA-informed early intervention strategies to understand how each child learns and responds.
We begin by understanding:
How your child currently communicates
How they respond to others and their environment
Which skills will make daily life easier and more meaningful
Rather than teaching isolated tasks, we prioritise skills that support:
Communication and understanding
Learning readiness
Flexibility and engagement
Everyday participation at home and in school settings
Goals are introduced gradually, adjusted carefully, and reviewed as your child develops.
💙 How We Decide What Matters First
Not all skills are equally important at the early stage.
Our team works within a structured framework to:
Identify priority skills that support later learning
Avoid overwhelming children with too many targets
Ensure progress is meaningful, not just measurable on paper
Professional supervision ensures that goals remain appropriate as your child grows and responds.
What Parents Can Expect
Families working with ARN can expect:
- Clear explanations of what their child is working on and why
- Ongoing communication about progress and adjustments
- A calm, supportive process that respects each child’s pace
- Honest conversations about readiness and expectations
Early intervention is a journey — not a race.
