- Early intervention is the term used to describe the services and support that are available to babies and young children under the age of three years old with developmental delays and disabilities and their families. These services can include special instruction, applied behavioral analysis, and other types of services based on the needs of the child and family. The outcomes of early intervention services are positive and can have a significant impact on a child’s ability to learn new skills, overcome challenges, and increase success in school and life.
