What is Early Intervention?

Early Intervention (EI) refers to a range of services and support provided to young children, typically from birth to five years, who have developmental delays or are at risk of such delays. These services aim to address challenges in areas like communication, motor skills, social-emotional development, and cognitive abilities at the earliest stages of life.

In Dubai, early intervention plays a crucial role in supporting children with conditions like autism, speech delays, and motor skill issues. Early intervention therapists work with families to create individualized plans that help children develop essential skills through play-based activities, sensory integration, and tailored therapeutic strategies, leading to better long-term outcomes.

The disorders include:

  • Developmental Delays:

    Children who are not meeting key developmental milestones in areas such as speech, movement, or social interaction, requiring support to catch up.

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):

    Children showing early signs of autism, such as difficulty with communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors, benefit from early therapy to improve long-term outcomes.

  • Sensory Processing Disorders:

    Children who struggle with processing sensory information, such as sensitivity to noise, light, or touch, and require intervention to help regulate sensory responses.

  • Cognitive Delays:

    Children with delays in cognitive functions like memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, often needing early support to improve learning and development.

  • Genetic or Neurological Conditions:

    Children with conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or other genetic or neurological disorders, who need therapy to support physical, social, and cognitive development.
