3.EARLY INTERVENTION
Movement and play experience provide the foundations for the development of motor sensor, perceptual, cognitive languages & speech and social skill for infant and young children. For the infant and young child with physical or other developmental delays, these experience are compromised. This means that parents and professional need to work together as a team to create opportunities for speech, movement & learning. Early intervention is useful between 0-6 years children. In our centre we follow ‘Portage Basic Training Principle' to improve cognitive, social motor and speech activities. Children in and around North Nagpur are getting benefit from this technique.
