Early Intervention for Children
Building strong developmental foundations in the early years.
Early intervention provides timely support for children who may need extra help with communication, movement, learning, play or everyday skills.
What Is Early Intervention?
Early intervention focuses on helping young children develop important skills during the early years. It can address developmental delays and concerns through age-appropriate therapy, play and everyday activities.
Communication
Understanding and expressing needs.
Movement
Building coordination and motor skills.
Learning
Developing attention and early learning abilities.
