What is Early Childhood Approach (ECA)?
In plain English
The way the NDIS supports children under 9 with developmental delay or disability. Children may receive support through Early Childhood Partners without a formal diagnosis.
The early childhood approach is how the NDIS supports children under 9 with developmental delay or disability. Families can work with an early childhood partner who provides advice and short term early supports, sometimes before any plan exists. The focus is on practical help in everyday settings like home and childcare. Early action gives children the best start.
