Early Childhood Intervention: The Power of Family - video from Open Society Foundation (OSF)
Ninety percent of a child's brain develops in the first three years. Brain development depends on the quality of relationships and interactions in a child's life and the learning environment that surrounds them.
What happens to children with developmental delays or disabilities during that period? What about children whose families simply lack the resources or skills to know how to help their child during this period? Early Childhood Intervention offers help to these children and their families.
Early Childhood Intervention services make sense for the child, the family, and the community. They help children achieve better outcomes, protect human rights, support families, and save precious resources for the community.
