Reseach about the impact of the Early Intervention System en Alentejo, Portugal.
The investigation project “Evaluation of early intervention impact in
Alentejo” was the consequence of several actions that, in the past 7 years,
provided the three districts of Alentejo with an early intervention child
development net, that was pioneered in Portugal and that brings together the
initiatives from the regional services of the Health, Education and Social Security
Ministries along with private non-profitable institutions of social care. For the first
time, it was possible to create a large, uniform net, covering a large area, with a coordinated
structure and articulated work and intervention models, laying down as
the main purpose support to children with developmental disturbances or in risk,
and the families of those children
