Early intervention refers to the identification and provision of support for young children (typically under the age of 6) who have, or are at risk for, developmental delays or disabilities. The goal of early intervention is to provide targeted services as soon as possible to help children reach their full potential.
Importance of Early Intervention:
-
Brain development: Early childhood is a critical period for brain development. Addressing developmental issues early on can have a significant impact on a child's overall growth and learning ability.
-
Improves outcomes: The earlier the intervention, the better the chances of improving long-term outcomes. Early support can enhance cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
-
Support for families: Early intervention services also support families, helping them understand their child's needs and how to best support their growth and development at home.
