Early Childhood Intervention

Early Childhood Intervention (ECI), part of the Local Intervention Team – ELI Lagos, is a response aimed at families with children aged 0 to 6 who have alterations in body functions or structures that may limit their personal and social development and participation in activities typical for their age, as well as children at serious risk of developmental delay.

The response aims to provide specialized and targeted support during the first years of life, recognizing the importance of this critical period for child development, taking into account the eligibility criteria of the National Early Intervention System (SNIPI).

Characterization of the Social Response

Early Childhood Intervention can include the following elements:

Active Family Involvement:

Families have an essential role to have in early intervention, being active participants in the definition of intervention goals and strategies, as well as in their implementation in the family environment.

Individualized Assessment and Intervention Plan:
Each Family identifies their specific needs/concerns, resulting in the drawing up of an Individual Early Intervention Plan (PIIP) adapted to their family, personal and social dynamics.

Multidisciplinary Approach:
Early intervention is made up of a team of professionals from health, education and social services, who collaborate in an integrated way to ensure a broad holistic approach to the needs of children and their families.
