WHAT IS ISEI?

The International Society on Early Intervention (ISEI) is an organization designed to provide a framework and forum for professionals from around the world to communicate about advances in the field of early intervention.

WHY WAS ISEI FORMED?

Issues relevant to early intervention transcend national boundaries. Providing effective early intervention programs for vulnerable children and their families constitutes one of the most important challenges for contemporary societies. The rapidly expanding numbers of children worldwide who are at-risk for developmental and health problems due, for example, to poverty, prematurity/low birthweight, infectious diseases, or to exposure to toxic substances prenatally or during early childhood demand a supportive and effective set of well-designed services. While the knowledge base in early intervention has grown considerably from contributions of researchers, clinicians, program developers, and policy-makers from numerous countries, and communication within and across national boundaries of these advances has improved in recent years, international early intervention collaborations and sharing of knowledge are far from adequate. ISEI's goal is to unite early intervention advocates throughout the world to work together to advance understanding of early intervention concepts and practices from an international perspective.

WHO CAN JOIN ISEI?

The membership of ISEI is composed of basic and clinical researchers relevant to the field of early intervention representing a diverse array of biomedical and behavioral disciplines, as well as clinicians and policy-makers in leadership positions. The ISEI membership is on an individual basis, but this structure is designed to take advantage of existing within-country networks and to complement established professional activities and organizations. ISEI now has approximately 2000 members representing 80 countries.
