Parent Programmes

Now&Next Early Years

Now & Next Early Years is a practical and strengths based program for parents raising young children with developmental delay, disability, or additional support needs. Over eight online or face to face sessions, families are supported by trained peer facilitators with lived experience to create a positive vision and achievable goals for their child and family. You will learn how to achieve more positive outcomes with less effort by building on your child and family’s strengths and using strategies that have worked for other families. The program helps parents increase family wellbeing, resilience, and confidence, while learning to work more effectively with professionals and supports to achieve meaningful goals. Families also learn how to make informed and purposeful decisions about using disability funding to create the greatest impact for their child and family.
