“…In brief, children from birth to six years who experience a developmental delay or disability, including children on the autism spectrum, can access ECI services. These services may include specialist teaching and therapeutic interventions delivered in a variety of modalities such as home visits, preschool or school consultations (Hughes-Scholes, Gatt, Davis, Mahar & Gavidia-Payne, 2016). Medicare, the national body that subsidises primary health care in Australia, provides specific plans which entitle children on the autism spectrum to access sessions with a Psychologist, Speech Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Audiologist, Optometrist, Orthoptist or Physiotherapist, with some plans (such as the Chronic Disease Management Plan) having an annual allowance of sessions and others (such as the Helping Children with Autism Treatment Plan) having a lifetime allowance.…”

Early childhood intervention (ECI) services for children on the autism spectrum commonly espouse a family-centred approach but outcomes studies often focus solely upon the child.Mothers of 96 children on the spectrum (aged 4-5) completed a measure of access to ECI and the Family Outcomes Survey-Revised. Family outcomes after ECI were generally positive, although a notable proportion of mothers rated that their child still did not participate in social, recreational, or religious activities that they would want to (15.6%) and that as parents, they did not know about post-ECI options (14.6%). Family outcomes and perceived helpfulness of ECI did not differ with demographic data with the exception of Accessing the community subscale which was significantly higher in families with incomes above AUD$80,000.
