Early intervention refers to a set of services and support designed to help children with developmental delays or disabilities. These services are typically provided to children from birth to age three, a critical period for brain development. Early intervention aims to enhance a child's development and improve their ability to learn and grow, often involving therapies, educational support, and family guidance. The goal of early intervention is to identify and address challenges as soon as possible, which can lead to better outcomes in areas such as communication, social skills, and motor abilities. Programs may include speech therapy, occupational therapy, and special education services tailored to each child's unique needs.
