    Early intervention provides supports and services for children aged 0-6 who have developmental delays or disabilities or who are at risk for abuse and neglect. The mission is to help families maximize their child's development while respecting family diversity. Legislation beginning in 1975, especially PL 99-457, established and expanded early intervention programs for infants/toddlers and preschool aged children. Services may include home visits, therapies, case management, and are outlined in the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) which is family-centered.

    What is Early Intervention?

    - Is a support and educational system for


    very young children (aged 0-6) who have
    been victims of or who are at risk for child
    abuse and or/ neglect as well as children
    who have developmental delays or
    disabilities.
    The mission of early childhood intervention
    is to:
     assure that families who have at risk
    children in this age range receive
    resources and supports that assist them in
    maximizing their child’s physical ,
    cognitive, social and emotional
    development while respecting the
    diversity of families and communities.
    IDEA AND EARLY INTERVENTION/
    EARLY HILDHOOD SPECIAL
    EDUCATION
    Since 1975, Congress has enacted five bills reauthorizing
    and amending the original IDEA. The second of those bills,
    PL 99-457, has been called the most important legislation
    ever enacted for young children with developmental delays
    (Shonkoff and Meisels, 2000). Before passage of this law,
    Congress estimated that states served at most about 70% of
    preschool children with disabilities, and systematic early
    intervention services for infants and toddlers with
    disabilities from birth through age 2 were scarce or
    nonexistent in many states. PL 99-457 mandated preschool
    services for children with disabilities ages 3 to 5 and
    included a voluntary incentive grant program for early
    intervention services to infants and toddlers and their
    families
    P.L 99-457 Programs
    Pre-school
    Grant Program (3-5 years old)
    Handicapped Infant and Toddler Program

    Individualized Family Service Plan*


    - These plan require that families participate in
    defining the child’s intervention program.
    Addressing Gaps in P.L 94-142
    P.L. 94-142, the Education for all Handicapped
    Children Act of 1975, created a “right to
    education” for handicapped children between
    ages six and eighteen.
    Along with the Act, Congress created the
    Preschool Incentive Grant, which instead of
    mandating that states serve children below the
    ages of six, it provided a money incentive.
    P.L. 99-457 included a new Preschool Grant
    Program which was a mandate rather than an
    incentive and provided three times the funding
    for 3-5 years old.
    Early Intervention services may include;
    Family Training
    Counselling
    Home Visits
    Speech Pathology
    Occupational Therapy
    Physical Therapy
    Psychological services
    Early Intervention services may include;
    Case Management Services
    Medical (diagnostic/evaluation)
    Health Services
    Social work services
    Vision services
    Assistive technology devices
    Transportation
    Individualized Family Service Plan
    (IFSP)
    An Individualized Family Service Plan
    (IFSP) is a plan for special services for
    young children with developmental
    delays. Infants and toddlers are typically
    categorized under developmental delay
    because eligibility criteria for young
    children tend to be unreliable.
    Individualized Family Service Plan
    (IFSP)
     Objectives need to:
    1. Be important to family (reflect their priorities
    and concerns)
    2. Be written so that parents can understand the
    objective when a therapist is not present
    (parent-friendly)
    3. Be embedded within the activities in the
    child’s and family’s routines.
    4. Be observable.
    IFSP’s differs from IEP’s
    1. It revolves around family as the constant and most
    important factor in the child’s life;
    2. Defines the family as the recipient of early
    intervention services rather than the child alone;
    3. Focuses on the natural environments in which the
    child and family, extending the setting in which the
    services provided beyond formal settings such as
    preschool to everyday routines in home and
    community; and
    4. Includes interventions and services providedby a
    variety of health and human services agencies in
    addition to educcation.
