Alright guys, let's put our science caps on...
Early Intervention simply means the process of getting your child the support they need at an early age (before 6 years old).
The reason why it is so important to get in early, is because in our brains, there is something called neural pathways. This is where our brain makes connections, understands things, puts two and two together etc.
Now, before age 6, our brain plasticity (as in the ability to create these neural pathways or connections) is alot higher, in comparison to when we begin school and eventually grow into a teen and adult.
Therefore when trying to teach new skills or improve development in your child, the more neural plasticity, the easier it will be for them to create the connection... ergo the the earlier your child is, the better the outcome! โ๏ธ
