Importance of Early Intervention
Rigorous research has shown that the critical period of
child brain development happens in the earliest years. According to Harvard
University (2008, 2010), this is due to the following reasons:
- Neural
circuits, which are the foundations of learning, behavior and health, are
most malleable during the first three years of life.
- Early social
and emotional development and physical health provide the foundation upon
which cognitive and language skills can develop.
High-quality early intervention services can alter a
child’s developmental trajectory and improve outcomes for children, families
and communities
Intervention is likely to be more cost-effective when
provided earlier rather than later in life.
As such, early intervention methods are essential
prerequisites for later success in school, the workplace, and the community.
Good quality early intervention services serve a multitude of benefits
including health, language and communication cognitive development and
social/emotional development. Families benefit from early intervention by being
able to better meet their children’s special needs from an early age and
throughout their lives. Benefits to society include reducing economic burden
through a decreased need for special education.
When it comes to early intervention, timing is key. Here's
why enrolling a child as early as possible is crucial:
When should
a child be enrolled?
The ideal time to enroll a child in an early intervention Programme
is when a developmental delay or disability is suspected. Acting promptly
allows for timely support and maximizes the benefits for both the child and
their family.
Empowering Families:
Early intervention is not just about the child—it's about
supporting the entire family. By enrolling in a Programme, families gain:
·
Guidance and resources
·
Strategies to cope with
challenges
·
Access to a supportive
community
· Empowerment in navigating the special needs journey
