Learning Difficulties
NURTURE INFORMATION HUB
Toddlers born premature or sick learn and develop at their own pace. Some may take longer to learn new skills, solve problems, follow instructions, or remember new information. These differences can happen because of early developmental delays, health conditions, sensory sensitivities, or challenges with attention, memory, and thinking skills.
The toddler years are an important time for learning through play, everyday routines, and relationships. Early support can help children build the skills they need before they start pre-school. Services such as speech pathology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and early childhood intervention can support your child's communication, movement, play, and learning.
Every child develops differently. Recognising any challenges early and providing the right support can help your toddler build confidence, develop new skills, and reach their full potential. With patience, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through everyday activities, children born premature or sick can continue to make meaningful progress.
