An Early Intervention assessment is completed with the agreement of parents so that local agencies can work with the family to identify what help the child and family might need. Children and their families can experience a range of needs at different times in their lives.…
Every child deserves the best possible start in life and support to fulfill their potential. A child’s experience in the early years has a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right, and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up. When parents choose to use early years services they want to know that provision will keep their children safe and help them to thrive.…
If a child’s development is not following the expected patterns it is important to implement early intervention to maximize development.…

Early intervention is essential to achieve the best possible outcome for the child. However multi-agency working is important too, when all the professionals involved with a child share information and co-operate with each other lives can be improved and even saved. Baby P is an example of multi-agencies not working together properly, early intervention and working together will help prevent more unnecessary deaths.…
As an Early Head Start teacher, I utilize two developmental screening tools, the Brigance Screens and the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, to determine if there are any potential developmental delays present in the children participating in my program. I allow the child to become comfortable in the program before administering these tools, typically using them when the child has been enrolled at least a month. In order to gain maximal benefit and assist in the individualization of my program, I make sure that these tools are administered and scored within the first 45 days of attendance. If a child scores low on the first screening, I notify the parents and work with the child to see if I can strengthen skills in the area(s) where there is a deficit. I then conduct the screening again about 60 days later. If there is skill a concern at this point, I hold a conference with the child’s parents and make a pre-referral to the Special Needs/Mental Health Coordinator for Head Start/Early Head Start.…
Task 1 Q4 – Explain how different types of intervention can promote positive outcomes for children and young people where development is not following the expected pattern.…
The webinar is about integrating response to intervention at the middle school level. The RTI process was intended to work a certain way, but has been lost in the implementation process. In this webinar, identification of practices that helped student successes was identified. Eighty five schools was selected to be observed for the RTI process. This number of observed schools decreased dramatically as the process continued.…
Specific interventions used were three infection control protocols. The three protocol interventions was designed and composed from several existing protocols and were ordered according to the extensiveness of the interventions. The way that these protocols were implemented was by visiting the participation nursing homes and assigning them one of the three protocols by the municipal public health services. As a result, the study showed that infection control measures are to be most effective when implemented before or at the moment that the first peak of symptomatic subjects is observed. Additionally it was found that the implementation of infection control measures reduced attack rates, but had little effect on the length of the out break…
Thoughtful combinations may result in more robust interventions. However, a potential downside is the practical limit to how many theories can be combined. If relevant constructs in the models are not measured or are not measured well, it may not be possible to really understand how an intervention exerted its impact. If our theories are to be refined, it is critical that some researchers continue to focus on rigorous tests of single theories and on studies that critically compare two or more theories.…
Naturalistic interventions are those that teach skills in informal or natural settings rather than a setting designed for instruction. Within naturalistic interventions are specific treatments that emerged from two different theoretical perspectives: behavioral and developmental social-pragmatic (DSP) perspective (Ingersoll, B., Meyer, K., Bonter, N., Jelinek, S., 2012). These interventions use direct prompting and reinforcement within natural contexts to teach specific social communication skills. Numerous studies support the behavioral intervention effectiveness not only for social communication skills but teaching language, imitation and joint attention. Developmental social- pragmatic interventions are largely based on the social-pragmatic model of language acquisition with the focus being the adult’s responsiveness to the child and establishing conversational turns between the child and adult.…
The earlier the Childs needs are identified means the child will get the best possible support. If children do not get the help they need at the right time, this could have an effect on the child’s well being. Parent’s permission is vital in order for their child to be referred and they must be kept well informed at all times. Early intervention teams have been set up in England to work with children with additional needs from birth to the end of EYFS. The early year’s intervention team will be part of the multi-agency panel enabling referrals to be made between settings. Early year’s intervention team promote inclusive practice, provides advice support and training in settings, supports transitions into schools, ensures that parents are fully aware of and involved in any referral process and they liaise with parents, carers and multi-agency…
