The Importance of Early Intervention
Early intervention primarily describes services and support children from birth to age three with learning and attention issues receive that address their individual communication, social-emotional, and learning needs, helps them reach their peak, and can reduce the likelihood the child will experience more serious mental health problems down the line.
On this episode, we visit a Texas school for neurodivergent students that finds fun ways to tackle the serious task of early intervention. Next, our panel of national experts discusses how early intervention can enhance children’s outcomes.
Later, you’ll meet our latest Difference Maker, Dr. Jason Arday, a renowned British academic with much to say about equity in higher education who through childhood negotiated silence and autism.
