Publisher's Synopsis
What kinds of early intervention practices are other countries developing and implementing - and what can we learn from them? This work covers effective practices at work in China, Sweden, Ethiopia, Portugal, India, Israel, Australia, Germany, and more. Along with a detailed overview of and rational for early intervention, chapters are built around early intervention practices in four areas: service delivery models, including topics like community-based inclusion, mediational approaches to early intervention, and service provision in rural areas; family support, including topics like working with families to implement home interventions; professional development, including topics like university-based continuing education programmes; and organizational support, including topics like national legislation, community and agency initiatives, and team development.
