Wczesna interwencja jako wspomaganie rozwoju dziecka z trudnościami rozwojowymi i udzielanie wsparcia jego rodzicom

Early intervention concerns a child who is threatened with disability or is disabled and the child's parents. In the situation of early intervention two key elements should be noticed, i.e. the child's early age and a comprehensive character of the actions. Special care of specialists, like the family doctor, pediatrician, neurologist, should be given to children belonging to the so called “risk groups”. Often it is on the first visit to the specialist that the further life of the child and the use of his developmental capacities depends. Including both the child and his parents in the support program in the earliest period after the developmental problems appear gives the child a chance to use his capacities as well as possible, and his parents a chance to effectively cope with the problems connected with the child's threatened development.
