WHAT IS EARLY
INTERVENTION?
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 3
Definition
• Early intervention- it describes services for
children from birth to 3 years of age who have
an established risk, have a developmental delay,
or are considered to be environmentally or
biologically at risk.
(occupational therapy for children ; Case-Smith O’ Brien 2003)
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 4
Individuals with disability education act-IDEA
• Developmental service that are provided under public
supervision
• Provided at no cost except where federal or state law
provides for a system of payments by families
• Designed to meet the developmental needs of an infants
• Following areas:- physical, cognitive, communication,
social and emotional or adaptive development
-(American academy of pediatrics october 2013)
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 5
Family centered care
• It is based on the principle that an infant
is dependent on his or her parents and
other family members for daily care and
meeting his or her physical and
emotional needs
• Birth of a child with special health care
needs affects entire family emotionally,
socially and economically

FACILITY BASED EI
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 15
Facility based newborn screening:
• This includes screening of birth defects in institutional
deliveries at public health facilities, esp. at the
designated delivery points by Medical Officers/
Gynecologists.
• Existing health service providers at all designated
delivery points will be trained to detect, register report
and refer birth defects to the DEIC in District Hospitals.
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 16
EI IN NICU
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 17
GOALS OF EI IN NICU
• To facilitate parent-infant interaction
• Encourage positioning during feeding that allow eye-to-
eye contact
• Reduced level of stimulation in the environment(light,
sounds)
• Provide sensory stimulation through voice, touch &
movement
• Positioning
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 18
• To facilitate sucking-swallowing in premature infants
during feeding
• Gradual introduction of graded tactile stimuli
• Place toys in infants line of vision
• Encourage parents face the infant in his line of vision
when interacting with infant

Implementation Mechanisms
• The Operational Guidelines outline the following mechanism to
reach all the target groups of children for health screening-
• 1. For new born:
• Community based newborn screening at home through ASHAs for
newborn till 6 weeks of age during home visitation.
• 2. For children 6 weeks to 6 years:
• Angan-wadi Center based screening by the Mobile Health Teams
• 3. For children 6 years to 18 years:
• Government and Government aided school based screening by
Mobile Health Teams.
-OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES: Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) feb 2013
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 28
Community based newborn screening (age 0-6
weeks) for birth defects:
• Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) during home visits for
newborn care will use the screen the babies born at home and the
institutions till 6 weeks of age.
• ASHAs will be trained with simple tools for detecting gross birth
defects.
• ASHAs will mobilize caregivers of children to attend the local
Anganwadi Centers for screening by the dedicated Mobile Health
Team.
• She would be equipped with a tool kit consisting of a pictorial
reference book having self-explanatory pictures for identification of
birth defects.
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 29
Screening of children enrolled in Government and
Government aided schools:
• For children in the age groups 6 to 18 years, will be
screened in Government and Government aided
schools.
• At least three dedicated Mobile Health Teams in each
Block will be engaged to conduct screening of children.
• The number of teams may vary depending on the
number of Angan-wadi Centers, difficult to reach areas
and children enrolled in the schools.
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 30
• The screening of children in the Anganwadi Centers
would be conducted at least twice a year and at least
once a year for school children to begin with.
• The Mobile Health Team will consist of four members -
two Doctors (AYUSH) one male and one female, one
ANM/Nurse and one Pharmacist
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 31
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 32
District Early Intervention Center (DEIC):
• Established at the District Hospital.
• The purpose of Early Intervention Center is to provide
referral support to children detected with health
conditions during health screening.
-[Setting up early intervention centres in kerala – a blue print-2012]
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 33
Goals of a District Early Intervention Centre
1. To meet individual developmental needs of children with
disabilities in the context of play, individual and group
therapy, as an inherent part of the training
2. To offer comprehensive training programs for
professionals, parents and community
members
3. To offer family support and counseling
4. To provide comprehensive diagnostic services, fitting of
suitable aids and appliances
5. To facilitate parents’ role as partners in the intervention
process
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 34
6. To link early intervention to later education and
rehabilitation programs
7. To provide appropriate assistive devices, prosthetics and
orthotics
8. To support the community in setting up a barrier free
environment
9. To provide opportunities for recreation and games
10. To arrange transition to inclusive education programs
11. To demonstrate best practice in early intervention

CBR and DEIC
• The DEIC will offer community based services for those
families who are unable to avail of DEIC services
through linkages with community groups – Angan-wadi,
ASHA workers and local NGOs.
• Two options could be considered – (a) referrals to local
service providers after an initial assessment and needs
analysis in the DEIC and/or (b) a team from the DEIC
providing fortnightly services in the community.
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 38
• Clinic type of services would be located in the Angan-
wadi Centre or in the premises of local NGO.
• Local service providers will be trained and closely
involved for carry-over and follow up in the clinic or the
home.
• A structured plan will also have to be formulated to
extend the community outreach programs to private play
schools and government pre-schools by the Angan-wadi
and ASHA workers.
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 39
Role of District Early Intervention Center:
1. Providing referral services to referred children for
confirmation of diagnosis and treatment
2. Screening children at the “District Early Intervention
Center”
3. Visit all newborns delivered at the District Hospital for
screening all newborns irrespective of their sickness before
discharge
9/1/17 EARLY INTERVENTION 40
4. Ensure that every child born sick or preterm or with LBW
or any birth defect is followed up at the DEIC
5. All the referrals are followed and records maintained
6. The Lab Technician of the DEIC would screen the
children for disorders, at the District level depending upon
the logistics and local epidemiological situations
7. Ensure linkage with tertiary care facilities through agreed
MOU.
