It is the set of interventions aimed at the child population from 0 to 6 years old to respond, as soon as possible, to the transitory or permanent needs presented by children with developmental disorders, or who are at risk of suffering from them. These interventions, which must consider the child as a whole, must be planned by an interdisciplinary team of professionals and must be directed at the children, family members and the child's environment.
The main objectives of Early Care are:
First of all, it is essential to speak with a specialist before making erroneous decisions that in the long run are not easy to repair in minors.
- Reduce the effects of disabilities on children
- Optimize the course of the child's development.
- Avoid or reduce the appearance of secondary or associated effects or deficits produced by a high-risk disorder or situation.
- Address and meet the needs and demands of the family and the environment in which the child lives.
