✨ Introducing the Integrative Developmental Specialist Model ✨
Something exciting is changing at Leading Lights Early Intervention
We are moving away from the traditional Key Worker title and introducing a model that more accurately reflects the expertise, qualifications and work of our team:
The Leading Lights Integrative Developmental Specialist Model.
Our Integrative Developmental Specialists, formerly known as Key Workers, are highly trained and qualified professionals who bring professional qualifications, post-graduate training and years of experience across areas such as child development, education, psychology, counselling, social work, play therapy, neuroscience and other developmental disciplines.
But this change is about much more than a new title.
Children don't develop in isolated areas. Communication, behaviour, sensory processing, emotional regulation, learning, relationships, nutrition, sleep and environment can all influence one another.
We don't believe their support should happen in isolation either.
💙 Your Integrative Developmental Specialist sees the bigger picture. They become the consistent connection for your child and family, working directly with you, collaborating with schools and therapists, and bringing recommendations together into practical strategies for everyday life.
When specialist expertise is needed, professionals such as Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Behaviour Support Practitioners, Counsellors, Social Workers and Nutrition professionals can become part of the child's team.
As those needs change, the team may change.
But our clients and families come back to their Integrative Developmental Specialist. This is the heart of the Leading Lights model: one consistent professional who knows your child, knows your family, understands your goals and helps keep everyone connected. ✨
