The measures often take place on an outpatient basis in early intervention centers. These have the advantage that they offer a wide range of support. The interdisciplinary teams include experts from fields such as medicine, special education, psychology, occupational therapy, speech therapy, physiotherapy and social work. With its holistic approach, early intervention involves the children's environment. It is important to consider whether and how, in addition to parents, older siblings, grandparents, educators, daycare parents and other suitable persons can become involved. The goal is to find meaningful perspectives for everyday life.
Where no early intervention center can be used, mobile early intervention is offered. It comes to the home, if necessary to the childminder or to the daycare center. On the website www.frühförderstellen.de you can find the facilities active in North Rhine-Westphalia.
