Introduction
Early Intervention Australia is the organization that provides statewide support for young
children with special needs (TasEducation, 2012). The organization aims to motivate the children
to be active and successful participants at home, in school and community and provide them the
environment and resources they need. ECIA has recently released the Best Practice in Early
Childhood Intervention Report that allows the parents and adults to understand the changing
environment for children in their very early years (ECIA, 2019). The report discusses the family-
centered practice and logistical challenges for the children as well as their parents.

the changing needs of society and especially for children with special needs (MCM,2019). Log

comprehensive, coordinated program for such children and their families in the area and offer
