Popular tasks right now
Our Portage service works with parents and carers who have children aged 0-4, with significant delays in at least two areas of development. PLEASE NOTE: We work with children aged birth to four, however we must work with the child for at least two terms before they enter full time education. If this is not possible, the child is not likely to be accepted for our Portage service.
For further information, please read the information below or contact the Portage Service, using the following details:
