Early intervention focuses on helping eligible babies and toddlers learn the basic and brand-new skills that typically develop during the first three years of life, such as: physical (reaching, rolling, crawling, and walking); cognitive (thinking, learning, solving problems). Early intervention for children with disabilities or at risk of developing them is crucial because it maximizes their developmental potential and reduces the long-term negative impacts of disability. It provides services and supports during critical periods of brain development, enabling better outcomes in various areas. Early intervention also benefits families by offering guidance and resources to support their child's growth.
