Early intervention is one of the most impactful factors in improving the developmental opportunities of children with developmental disorders. Early intervention involves providing intensive support to children during their early years, specifically from birth to age five, to enhance linguistic, social, and cognitive abilities.
At Dr. Abdulrahman Al Habib Rehabilitation Center, we rely on specialized early intervention programs that aim to improve all aspects of the child’s development. These programs include various activities that help children explore their environment, stimulate their senses, and develop their motor and social skills.
Research shows that early intervention leads to significant improvements in the child’s ability to interact with their surroundings, paving the way for easier integration into later educational stages. It also helps reduce the developmental gap between the child and their peers. The early intervention program includes individual and group sessions with specialists in behavior analysis, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.
A key aspect of early intervention is involving parents in the process. Parents receive continuous training and guidance to ensure the continuity of the intervention at home, which enhances the effectiveness of the treatment and improves rehabilitation outcomes.
