early-intervention-next-steps

A note on style
Many programmes and policies across the world
have been given the title and kudos of ‘early
intervention’. Not all of them deserve this status.
In this Report, I wish to reserve the term Early
Intervention for the general approaches and
the specifc policies and programmes which are
known to produce the benefts described here for
children aged 0–3 and for older children up to 18
who will become the better parents of tomorrow.
For that reason, I have generally turned it into a
proper name, with capital letters. In some contexts
I use ‘early intervention’ in its everyday general
sense, without capitals. GA
