What is Early Intervention?

The Early Intervention Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities was enacted in 1986 under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; 20; U.S.C., Section 1431 et seq.). Early intervention refers to a crucial and proactive approach to addressing developmental, health, or educational challenges in individuals, typically children, during their formative years (0-5 years of age). This strategy aims to identify and provide specialized support or services as soon as signs of a concern or delay become apparent. Early intervention programs are designed to maximize a child's potential for growth and development, fostering positive outcomes in areas such as cognition, communication, motor skills, and social-emotional well-being. By intervening early, these programs can help mitigate long-term issues, promote independence, and improve overall quality of life for individuals and their families.
