Support for young
children
It is important to support the needs of young
children as early as possible.
This is called early intervention. It may
include setting goals for your child like
moving on their own
interacting with other children
learning how to eat on their own
using equipment
building strength
managing their feelings and emotions.
Each child’s goals will be different.
