2-Day Dynamic Early Intervention Guide: Fundamentals & Strategies

Importance of Early Intervention in a Child’s Learning

Early Intervention: The early years in a child’s life from toddler to children under 10 years old represent the most critical period of their development. Studies in neuroscience have shown brain growth rate to be at its highest in these early years. Early intervention (EI) taps on this growth potential to help children with developmental needs (DN) gain skills that maximise their capability for independence.

Aims of Early Intervention

The aim is to assure that families who have at-risk children can receive resources and supports that assist them in maximizing their child's physical, cognitive, and social/emotional development. To effectively aid their child’s learning differences, it is crucial to apply the appropriate intervention strategy through assessing and managing progress. This is important to maximize the potential of the child during this optimal developmental window.​​
