Precision Protocols in Early Neurodevelopmental Intervention

Precision Protocols in Early Neurodevelopmental Intervention is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary guide designed to strengthen early identification, assessment, and intervention for children at risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. Recognising the critical importance of the early years, the book provides structured, evidence-based protocols that support clinicians, therapists, and early intervention teams in delivering timely, coordinated, and family-centered care.

 

Beginning with the establishment and functioning of early intervention centers, the book outlines workflows, documentation systems, safeguarding practices, and team-based care models. It then addresses screening, diagnostic evaluation, and management of major neurodevelopmental conditions including cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, communication disorders, hearing and visual impairments, and global developmental delay. Detailed sections on therapy planning, individualised intervention programs, parent counselling, psychosocial support, and transition to school-based care ensure a holistic, life-course approach to child development. Practical appendices provide assessment templates, documentation formats, and intervention planning tools that can be readily implemented in clinical settings.
