Services for Children

Muscular Dystrophy Queensland understands that children are not just little adults when it comes to providing services which best suit their individual needs.

Our organisation supports community members throughout their lives and so we are continually building our capacity to provide high quality services for children with neuromuscular conditions.

About our services for children

Our team provides comprehensive services for children living with neuromuscular conditions, from the moment of diagnosis and throughout their development. Knowledgeable staff are always just a phone call or email away, ready to provide guidance, advice and practical support for families.

We offer ongoing information, tailored support plans and access to allied health services designed to meet each child’s individual needs. Whether your child has just received a diagnosis or is navigating the challenges of growth and development, we work closely with families to help children reach their developmental milestones, promote independence and support their overall wellbeing.

Our Staff

Several of our allied health staff have extensive experience working with children and understand that each child is unique, with their own presentation of a neuromuscular condition. They recognise that no two children respond in the same way, and tailor their approach to the individual needs, strengths, and challenges of each child.

Our team is committed to evidence-based practice and understands the critical role early intervention plays in supporting children to reach key developmental milestones. By providing timely, targeted support, we aim to optimise physical, social and emotional development while fostering independence and confidence.

Services for Children

NDIS and Children

Muscular Dystrophy Queensland is a registered provider under the NDIS Early Childhood Approach (ECA) which allows us to provide services to children with neuromuscular conditions. Families most commonly access support through our allied health team which tailors services to each child’s individual needs.

We are also developing Key Worker services under the ECA. The Key Worker acts as the main point of contact for parents, family members and the child providing guidance, support and advice. They assist with implementing strategies that promote the child’s development and help manage their condition effectively.

Supporting Educational Outcomes

With recent funding Muscular Dystrophy Queensland can now provide allied health services directly in schools to help children achieve their educational goals. In selected locations across Queensland our team can visit students in State, Catholic and independent schools delivering support in the learning environment.

To find out how to access services for a child with a neuromuscular condition please contact our Infoline on 1800 676 364. We look forward to supporting your child’s growth, development and educational success.
