WEBINAR | Nurturing care for children with development delays and disabilities

Early Childhood is a period where the foundation of a child’s life trajectory is set. When development is delayed or is at-risk of being delayed, interventions (including play-based approaches) during the early years that promote holistic development can reverse or mitigate long term impact of developmental delays.
 
Parents and caregivers of young children need support so they can be best equipped to help their children at home and find the right outside services.
