Early Childhood Supports

At AIVA Healthcare, our Early Childhood Supports are designed to provide evidence-based, developmentally appropriate services for children aged 0–6 with developmental delay or disability. Delivered by a multidisciplinary team of allied health professionals, our supports include assessment, intervention, and family education to enhance a child’s development in communication, mobility, social interaction, and daily living skills. We work in close partnership with families and caregivers to promote optimal outcomes and support children in reaching their full potential during the critical early years
