Funding objective
Early intervention is understood as the earliest possible, holistic support for children with developmental abnormalities, children with disabilities, and children for whom the likelihood of a disability cannot be excluded. Early intervention is to be provided in order to prevent or reduce disabilities at the earliest stage, eliminate impairments, and enable the child and their family and social environment to cope with the disability. A key objective of early intervention, alongside developmental support and family counseling and guidance, is early promotion, which has a significant impact on the developmental potential of the children.
