Early Intervention for Young Children with DisabilitiesAdvancing Services and Programs Throughout Asia and the Pacific\nAuthor(s): Wendi Beamish, Mantak Yuen\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\nISBN-13: 9789819656615, 978-9819656615\nSynopsis\nThis book focuses on the provision of early intervention for children with disabilities (0-6 years) and their families throughout the Asia-Pacific. The motivation for the book stems from a policy brief by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) issued in 2021. This brief urgently called for young children with disabilities to be identified and to receive intervention and support in lower-income countries throughout Asia and the Pacific. The ESCAP has estimated that at least 33% of young children with disabilities across the region currently lack any service or support to optimise their development before entering school.\n\nThis book seek.
