Registered Multidisciplinary Team
Multidisciplinary team
Speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and psychologists collaborate on your child’s plan, so nothing about their development is looked at in isolation.
Neuro-affirming approach
We build on your child’s strengths and interests, not just the areas they’re finding hard. Every session honours their pace and their own way of engaging with the world.
Real-world, practical insights
You leave every session with strategies that fit naturally into your family’s routines, not just activities that only work in a therapy room.
Early Intervention Therapy
Supporting children’s development & growth
When a young child is showing developmental differences, families are often bounced between separate providers, each looking at one piece of the puzzle. Early intervention brings speech, movement, and social-emotional development together under one team.
At Moi Clinic, our practitioners communicate directly with each other about your child, so the strategies you receive at home actually connect with what’s happening in every other part of their support.
What We Help With
Early intervention builds strong foundations
Early intervention can support a wide range of developmental differences in young children. Here are some of the areas our team commonly works on.
Speech development
Building communication skills and language, in whatever form works best for your child.
Gross motor skills
Building movement, coordination, and confidence in physical play.
Fine motor skills
Building hand-eye coordination and the dexterity needed for early self-care and play tasks.
Social skills
Building interaction with peers and adults in ways that reflect your child’s own style.
Emotional development
Building resilience, coping, and the foundations for emotional regulation.
Behaviour
Understanding challenging behaviour and building self-regulation strategies that work for your child.
Who We Support
Early childhood intervention from infancy through the early years of school
Infants and Toddlers (0 to 3)
The earliest years are when the brain is most responsive to support. We work closely with families to build the skills and confidence needed to support development from the very beginning.
Preschool Age (3 to 5)
As your child engages more with peers and the world around them, our team supports the specific skills that help them participate confidently in play, kindergarten, and daily routines.
Early Primary Years (5 to 7)
As children begin school, our team continues supporting the specific skills they need to participate confidently in the classroom, working closely with school staff.
Our Approach
Practitioners who talk to each other, not just to you
At Moi Clinic, your child’s speech pathologist, occupational therapist, and psychologist aren’t working in separate silos. They communicate directly about your child’s progress, so the strategies you’re given actually reinforce each other.
We also believe your family knows your child best. Every plan is shaped around your specific goals and priorities, not a generic program applied the same way to every family.

Why Moi Clinic?
A safe space for mental health support
Moi Clinic is a multidisciplinary practice in Rowville and Frankston, where speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and psychologists have worked side by side for over 30 years. Early intervention is where that collaboration matters most.
We know the early years bring a lot of questions, and often a lot of worry. Our team is here to give you clear answers and a genuine plan, not just a list of exercises to try on your own.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Early intervention is coordinated support for children under seven who are showing developmental differences, delivered by a multidisciplinary team rather than a single practitioner working alone.

Our team wraps around your child and family, working with any other services already involved to set goals and build strategies specific to your child’s needs.
