Abstract

Researchers can learn more about how early assistance influences developmental pathways by looking at how early intervention programs affected children at high risk for developmental delays. A structured questionnaire was sent to 1,850 households as part of a quantitative study strategy. Finally, 1,788 valid replies were examined using SPSS version 25. Various sets of developmental outcomes, including social, emotional, and cognitive abilities, were examined in connection to early intervention involvement using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. With an F-value of 2543.581 and a p-value less than 0.001, the results showed that early intervention had a very significant favorable impact. Children that participated in these programs outperformed their peers who did not in terms of reaching developmental goals at a much earlier age. Children with developmental delays deserve a nurturing environment, which is why this research stresses the importance of family, teachers, and physicians working together to create that environment. To enhance developmental outcomes and provide a resource for policy allocations that prioritize improved awareness, the researchers result highlight the necessity of accessible early intervention interventions. Therefore, investing in early intervention is crucial for laying the groundwork for long-term success and improving the quality of life for at-risk children. Support for vulnerable populations is an ever-evolving environment, and this research adds to the increasing body of evidence that early intervention is crucial.
