Project summary
This second phase strengthens the Early Intervention Centre set up in 2023 and extends care to children up to the age of 12 who until now have had no access to diagnosis or rehabilitation therapy. The main aim is to strengthen early intervention and child development in the rural farming communities of Anta, improving the capacity to detect developmental difficulties and act on them.
Areas of work
- Improving the centre’s facilities and creating new therapy spaces.
- Workshops for early years teachers, aimed at better identification of developmental delays.
- Direct care for pregnant women and for children.
- Community and family awareness-raising, with information campaigns and training on preventing pregnancies and detecting developmental difficulties early.
- Strengthening local public policy on child development.
Results
- Age range widened from 5 to 12 years.
- 300 children and 100 pregnant women receive care at the centre each year.
- Rural teachers trained in early detection.
- Multisensory room equipped thanks to the support of the Malaga Professional Association of Social Work.
