The purpose of early intervention is to identify children as soon as possible when they are exhibiting signs of developmental delays. It can be difficult for parents, caregivers, as well as physicians to always recognize when a child is delayed. The developmental trajectory is unique to each child and there is a range of skill acquisition at all ages and for all skills.
In this workshop Michael Nelson, PhD will discuss early and often subtle signs of neurodevelopment that can support early recognition of developmental delays and help support the delivery of early intervention services. Although some of these early identification signs would be difficult for most parents or caregivers to sometimes recognize, physicians and early interventionists with their background and clinical skills would often be able to apply those to recognize infants with compromised neurodevelopmental.
