Necessity of Early Intervention

Birth to three years is the most vital time in a child's learning. Early identification of problems enables the ability to find help and start a child on the right path. Early intervention helps a child learn and develop at their full potential. It enables families and care givers to gain competence and confidence they can use at home to help the child in better ways. Most intervention services are home based where the child learns in his/her own living environment.
