The Centre for Excellence for Children Outcome (2001) asserted that early intervention is intervening early and as soon as possible to tackle problems emerging for children, young people and their families or with a population most at risk of developing problems. The mission of Early Childhood Intervention is to assure that families who have at-risk children in this age range receive resources and supports that assist them in maximizing their child's physical, cognitive, and social/emotional development while respecting the diversity of families and communities (Illinois Department of Health Service, 2013). Effective intervention may occur at any point in a child or young person’s life. This imply that early intervention can be remedial or preventive in nature- -remediating existing developmental problems or preventing their occurrence.
