The arrival of a baby whose development, physical or cognitive capacities are delayed or reflect disability can have a significant impact on the family. Many professionals across early childhood disciplines such as health, mental health, early intervention, and early childhood education play a key role in supporting the young child in reaching their optimal potential while also supporting the parents and family. Review and consider ways to identify developmental disorders and disabilities, provide early intervention, and foster family support and competence.
