Changes to the way families will receive funding for children with disabilities will soon become the reality in Australia. The impact of individualized funding in the early childhood intervention field will mean a major change for families who have a child with disability or developmental delay and also for the specialist and mainstream services that support them.

This conference will explore how to navigate this tide of change to ensure that best practice in early childhood intervention is maintained and efficacy is promoted in this new environment
