The present investigation studied provision of early intervention services for young children. 377 programs in Ohio were interviewed with respect to the number of young handicapped and “at risk” children participating, the types of services provided children and their parents, and budget information. Younger children (0–2 yr.) and those from rural areas were less frequently involved than older children from urban and semiurban areas. While a wide range of services were provided children and their parents, there was considerable variability in the proportion of programs providing these services. Public sources of funding provide the bulk of support for early intervention services, while private sources provide supplementary, but decreasing, support for services.

Perm Region

This article is devoted to the development of early intervention in the Perm region as a measure for the prevention of child disability in the system of complex rehabilitation and habilitation of disabled people (disabled children). The article presents the level of disability among the child population in modern Russia; the theoretical and methodological foundations of the provision of early comprehensive intervention to children with special needs and their families are considered; the relevance of the development of early intervention at the federal and regional levels as a strategically significant area of modern social policy in the country, the creation of a unified system of early intervention, taking into account the characteristics of the regions of the country. The authors presented results of the study reflect the experience of organizing an early intervention service in the system of comprehensive rehabilitation and habilitation of disabled people (disabled children) in the Perm region over the past few years. The early intervention system in the Perm region is constructed at three levels. At the macro level, the activity of the region is analyzed within the framework of the implementation of the Pilot Project to develop approaches to the formation of a system of comprehensive rehabilitation and habilitation of disabled people; the specifics and content of the created mechanisms of interdepartmental interaction are disclosed; the problems and prospects of their implementation are identified, the experience of organizing early intervention as a public service is studied. At the meso-level, the structure of early intervention services created at institutions of various departmental affiliations is presented; disclosed the activities of the early intervention service, created at the departments of social service institutions of the Perm region; describes the procedure for providing early intervention services to children and their families. The provision of early intervention services to a child and his family is presented as a micro level; disclosed the content of early intervention technology in the early intervention service; describes the stages of providing early intervention services, forms and methods of work used. The prospects for the development of early assistance in social service institutions, new forms of providing early intervention services in modern conditions are determined.

To Receive

Families living in rural areas who have a young child with a developmental disability often face difficulties in accessing early intervention services due to geographical isolation and restricted options to specialist services. Lack of services has been reported in a number of surveys of early intervention programs across Australia (Watt, Elkins, Conrad, Andrews, Apelt, Hayes, Calder, Coulston, & Willis, 1982; Barrie & Tomlinson, 1985). Watt et al found only five programs operating in rural areas with populations of 10,000 or less across Australia with a further 15 in towns of 10,000 to 30,000. Hayes and Livingstone (1986) found only rudimentary services in country areas often necessitating the placement of child in an urban facility to receive services.

Personnel Shortages

Early Intervention (EI) services for children birth through two years of age are mandated by Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); however, personnel shortages, particularly in rural areas, limit access for children who qualify. Telerehabilitation has the potential to build capacity among caregivers and local providers as well as promote family-centered services through remote consultation.  This article provides an overview of research related to telerehabilitation and early intervention services; discusses the feasibility of telerehabilitation within traditional EI service delivery models; examines telecommunications technology associated with telerehabilitation; and provides hypothetical case examples designed to illustrate potential applications of telerehabilitation in early intervention.

First Episode Schizophrenia

BackgroundLittle is known about long-term employment outcomes for patients with first-episode schizophrenia-spectrum (FES) disorders who received early intervention services.AimsWe compared the 10-year employment trajectory of patients with FES who received early intervention services with those who received standard care. Factors differentiating the employment trajectories were explored.MethodPatients with FES (N= 145) who received early intervention services in Hong Kong between 1 July 2001 and 30 June 2002 were matched with those who entered standard care 1 year previously. We used hierarchical clustering analysis to explore the 10-year employment clusters for both groups. We used the mixed model test to compare cluster memberships and piecewise regression analysis to compare the employment trajectories of the two groups.ResultsThere were significantly more patients who received the early intervention service in the good employment cluster (early intervention:N= 98 [67.6%]; standard care:N= 76 [52.4%];P= 0.009). In the poor employment cluster, there was a significant difference in the longitudinal pattern between early intervention and standard care for years 1–5 (P< 0.0001). The number of relapses during the first 3 years, months of full-time employment during the first year and years of education were significant in differentiating the clusters of the early intervention group.ConclusionsResults suggest there was an overall long-term benefit of early intervention services on employment. However, the benefit was not sustained for all patients. Personalisation of the duration of the early intervention service with a focus on relapse prevention and early vocational reintegration should be considered for service enhancement.

Intervention Service

The provision of early intervention services for vulnerable children and their families is now both accepted and expected by the international community. This article considers the importance of a developmental perspective as an essential guide to early intervention service systems. Emphasized in this framework are three critical features: relationship formation, the continuity of interventions, and the comprehensiveness of interventions. Guidance to early intervention systems design with respect to structural and values principles is also discussed. Future advances in early intervention may well depend upon the merging of these perspectives to create policy initiatives to enhance early intervention systems.

Early Intervention System

The Government of Ukraine has approved a plan of measures for the implementation of the pilot project "Creating a system of early intervention services to ensure the development of the child, preserve his health and life" for 2019-2021. The pilot regions implementing the early intervention service include ten regions of Ukraine, including the Odessa region. The main goal of piloting the project is to create and develop an early intervention system for children with disabilities or the risk of disability and their families, to improve the quality of early intervention services, to reduce the level of disability of children in Ukraine and to prevent their institutionalization at an early age. The purpose is to consider, on the example of a municipal non-profit enterprise of urban subordination, a mechanism for implementing early intervention services in Odessa. The materials of the research are the principles of financing of the health care system of the city of Odessa and the work of local medical institutions in the conditions of reforming the medical industry; methods are description, analysis, synthesis, generalization, graphic design. The article provides an example of funding services for the public at the expense of both national and local budgets, as well as mechanisms for coordinating services for children with disabilities or the risk of disability and their families.
