Why is Early Intervention Important?

• During early life the brain is rapidly developing and is shaped by experiences and interactions. Children learn through routines and every day activities.
• EI/ECSE services enhance language, social and physical development through play-based interventions and parent coaching.
• Research indicates that early intervention is effective in promoting developmental progress in infants, toddlers and preschoolers with developmental delays or disabilities.
• Parent involvement is key to a child’s future school success. EI/ECSE partners with parents to provide children the skills needed to become successful learners.
