- EARLY INTERVENTIONS
WHAT IS EARLY INTERVENTION
Early intervention applies to children of school age or younger who are discovered to have or be at risk of developing a handicapping condition or other special need that may affect their development.Early intervention consists in the provision of services such children and their families for the purpose of lessening the effects of the condition. Early intervention can be remedial or preventive in nature – remediating existing developmental problems or preventing their occurrence.
Early intervention may focus on the child alone or on the child and the family together . Early intervention programs may be center based , home-based , or a combination . Services range from identification – that is , hospital or school screening and referral services – to diagnostic and direct intervention programs .Early intervention may begin at any time between birth and school age ; however there are many reasons for it to begin as early as possible .
Early intervention program – A program designed to identify and provide intervention for infants and young children who are developmentally delayed and at high risk for school failure. The purpose of this type of program is to help prevent problems as the child matures.
These programs address the needs of young children from birth to the beginning of school with a collaborative effort from parents, medical and educational professionals . The pre – academic skills that may need help include self-concept , fine and gross motor skills , awareness of sounds , visual discrimination , communication and language development , thinking shills and social skills .
WHY INTERVENE EARLY?
Perhaps the most promising success stories in education today are the reports of special programs for young children who have disabilities or who are at risk. The underlying promise of early childhood special education is that early intervention makes a significant difference in child growth and development. When a child problems are recognized early, school failure can to a large extent be prevented or reduced. Early childhood special education programs (1) first identify young children, ages birth through 5, who have special needs and are likely to encounter difficulty in academic learning, and then (2) provide an immediate early intervention program.
There are three primary reasons for intervening early with an exceptional child: to enhance the child’s development, to provide support and assistance to the family, and to maximize the child’s and family’s benefit to society.
