Introduction. According to World Health Organization statistics, perinatal lesion of the central nervous system is one of the main causes of childhood disability. The development and scientific substantiation of new non-medicinal technologies for the medical rehabilitation of children with perinatal lesions of the central nervous system is one of the priority tasks. Timely identification of developmental delays and early intervention are particularly crucial for premature infants, ultimately enhancing their future health outcomes. The purpose of this work is to determine the structure of morbidity and disability of children with perinatal lesion of the central nervous system at the stage of catamnetic observation and to assess the effectiveness of the early intervention program. Results and Discussion. The study included 4.118 children, 1.711 of them were children with a birth weight of more than 2.500 g, 1.812 with a low birth weight (1.500-2.499 g), 452 children with a very low birth weight (1.000-1.499 g), and 134 children with extremely low birth weight (<1000) registered in the catamnetic observation office of the Center of Specialized Pediatric Care at M.V. Sklifosovsky Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital according to the statistical and reporting documentation over the period for 2012 – 2022. During the last year, 282 children of the first year of life and 131 children from one to three years old, who had delayed motor and psycho-speech development, were referred to the rehabilitation center "Dolon’ka Dobra" for inclusion in the early intervention program. Conclusion. Timely identification of children with developmental disorders, the creation of personalized early intervention programs, their implementation, and the ongoing assessment of effectiveness continue to serve as the fundamental principles guiding the catamnestic office and the Children's Rehabilitation Center.
