The Early Years, Life-Long Impact: The Transformative Power of Family-Centered Early Intervention for Children with Disabilities (COSP19 Side Event)
This side event will highlight the importance of family-based early intervention systems for children with developmental risks or disabilities, and will contribute to the exchange of policy approaches and implementation experiences in this field.
Description
Additionally, it will address the impact of early intervention on child development, the role of families and caregivers in the process, and the need to strengthen the capacities of institutions and professionals in delivering early intervention services. It will also provide a platform for discussion on multi-sectoral cooperation, good practices, and scaling up of the implementation for strengthening early intervention systems.
In this regard, the discussion at the side event is expected to be guided by the following questions:
How can early intervention systems be strengthened for children with developmental risks or disabilities?
How can the active participation of families and caregivers in early intervention processes be effectively supported?
How can effective multi-sectoral coordination be ensured among health, education, and social services?
How can the multidisciplinary capacities of institutions and professionals delivering early intervention services be enhanced?
What policy instruments and financing mechanisms can be effective in ensuring the sustainability of early intervention services at the national level?
How can early intervention systems contribute to the implementation of the CRPD and to strengthening the rights of children with disabilities?
