Choosing a Service
Our service is based on the priorities and needs of each child and family. We work in partnership with your family to provide a co-ordinated early childhood intervention service. We will develop a service agreement with each family that includes services received from Learning Links, other agencies and professionals. (So we can avoid duplication, Learning Links will not provide a service that is being provided by another agency.)
