A project to expand assistance to children with disabilities and support families is underway in Belarus.
Attention is focused on children with developmental delays and disorders on the autism spectrum. The "window of opportunity" is the first three years of life. At this stage speech, motor and social skills are formed. It is important to pay attention to developmental characteristics as early as possible and start the necessary treatment.
The project will also solve the problem of institutionalizing children. There are plans to open another 15 early intervention centers.
