Early intervention refers to the provision of services and support to individuals who are at risk for or experiencing developmental delays, disabilities, or other challenges at an early age. The goal of early intervention is to identify and address these issues as soon as possible in order to improve outcomes and prevent long-term difficulties. This can include therapies, educational support, and other interventions designed to help children reach their full potential and develop important skills. Early intervention is particularly important for young children, as research has shown that early support can significantly impact their overall development and future success.
