Early Intervention Pathway (for 0-2 year olds)

Generously supported by Slater and Gordon, Irwin Mitchell, and The National Lottery Community Fund.

Giving Families the Right Start – At the Right Time

We are proud to introduce our Early Intervention Pathway — a new, heavily subsidised service created to support families with children aged 0–2 years who may be facing early developmental challenges. This pioneering pathway is designed to provide personalised guidance, specialist therapy, and emotional support at a critical time in a child’s life — whether or not a formal diagnosis (such as cerebral palsy or other motor disorders) has been made.

Early childhood is a time of extraordinary growth, and timely, expert support can make all the difference. By intervening early, we aim to maximise your child’s potential, reduce long-term barriers, and empower you with the knowledge and tools to advocate for your child with confidence.

What the Pathway Offers

Every family’s journey is different, and our approach at CPotential reflects that. The Early Intervention Pathway offers personalised, compassionate support for you and your child during this crucial stage of development. It includes:

1. Early Milestones Telehealth Discussion

A supportive online conversation with a senior clinician to help parents understand and track their child’s early milestones — and feel empowered every step of the way.

2. 12-week Therapy Pathway 

This pathway is led by our expert Conductive Education and Music Therapy team, using a well-established, holistic approach that helps children with motor and developmental challenges work toward their full potential.

Your child’s progress will be closely monitored and supported throughout by our multidisciplinary team, ensuring the best possible outcomes and introducing additional therapies as needed.

Sessions will take place weekly at our Centre in Muswell Hill, or can be booked as an intensive block.

Conductive Education and Music Therapy are not typically available through the NHS, making these specialised services uniquely accessible through CPotential.

4. Parental Wellbeing Support

You’ll be offered a free 45-minute consultation with wellbeing coach Charlie Lyons from Connect In. This session is a safe space to talk about your emotional wellbeing, explore areas where you may need support, and consider helpful strategies or resources for the months ahead.

5. Legal, Financial and Educational Advice

In partnership with our legal supporters, Slater and Gordon and Irwin Mitchell, families can access a free consultation to explore their current circumstances and identify any legal, financial, or educational support that may be beneficial. This may include guidance on medical negligence, as well as financial planning for long-term specialist care.

6. Family Support Manager

You’ll have the support of our dedicated Family Support Manager, Rosie, who’s here to guide you and signpost helpful resources wherever you need them most. Rosie can also connect you with other families through our friendly parent carer WhatsApp group.

Eligibility Criteria

Families who are successfully admitted to the programme will be eligible for up to two therapy blocks — either two 12-week programmes or two (term-time) intensive blocks — within a one-year period. This support is offered once per family and is not available repeatedly.

Families may be eligible for the Early Intervention Pathway if their child is under 2 years old at the time of application, and meets the following:

• Diagnosed with a motor, neurological, or genetic disorder
• Diagnosed with global or specific developmental delay
• Considered high risk for developmental delay due to:

• • Preterm birth (babies born early)
  • Low birth weight
  • Neonatal brain injuries (at the time of birth or after the baby was born)
  • Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) – brain injury due to a lack of oxygen supply to the brain
  • Chronic lung disease / Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (CLD / BPD)
  • Neonatal seizures
  • Serious infections such as meningitis.

Pathway Costs

• £45 for an initial assessment to access all CPotential services.
• £10 per session (£120 for all 12 sessions) – heavily subsidised rate. Any additional therapy sessions booked, beyond the pathway, will be charged at our standard rate. See baseline fees here.
