Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delays or at risk for conditions like autism because it maximizes the child’s development during the critical early years of life. Early intervention can make a significant difference in the developmental trajectory of a child, promoting independence, self-confidence, and better quality of life for both the child and their family.
