Early Intervention (EI) is a type of healthcare service that focuses on providing support to children and families with developmental delays or disabilities. It is designed to help children reach their full potential by providing services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as family support and education. EI services are typically provided in the home, school, or community setting, and are tailored to meet the individual needs of the child and family.
EI services are typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and social workers. These professionals work together to develop an individualized plan of care for the child and family.
EI services are available in many countries around the world, and are often funded by government programs. In the United States, EI services are provided through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
