This document discusses early detection and early intervention in the framework of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) programs. It outlines that CBR programs can establish mechanisms for early screening activities to identify disabilities in babies and young children. This allows for early treatment or referral to other health services. CBR workers can also provide early intervention activities, usually home-based, and encourage playgroups to support child development. The document recommends CBR workers understand child development milestones and support inclusive early childhood education provisions.
