Resources for Families
Practical tools to support your child — at home, in the community, and through everyday routines.
At Day by Day Early Intervention, we believe families are the most important part of a child’s support team. These resources have been created by our therapists to help you support your child’s communication, regulation, participation, and confidence in everyday life.
Our resources are free to download and can be used by families, educators, and support people.
Support Snapshot
A clear, strengths-based summary of your child.
The Support Snapshot is a one-page, family-friendly document that helps others understand your child quickly and respectfully.
It can be shared with:
-
- Educators and teachers
- Childcare or kindergarten staff
- Support coordinators
- New therapists or professionals
- Family members and carers
The Support Snapshot highlights:
-
- Your child’s strengths and interests
- How they communicate
- What helps them feel regulated and safe
- Sensory preferences and support needs
- Helpful strategies for participation and learning
This snapshot is designed to support smoother transitions, stronger collaboration, and more consistent support across settings.
