Early intervention programs are support and help for optimal child development, such as targeted interventions to improve the quality of life of family children, and general contact with support services such as education, health, social care services (Suzi J. Sapiets, Vasiliki Totsika, Richard P. Hastings, 2020). Children with special educational needs should undergo an early intervention program as early as possible. Based on Borhannudin Abdullah and Wan Nomi Wan Omar (2018), early intervention programs can help parents detect their children's disabilities early and intervene to reduce learning barriers caused by their disabilities. Early intervention is to help children's development, functioning and participation in the family and community context, which is in line with the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health in the USA (Damiano, D.L. & Longo, E., 2021). Early intervention is defined as a systematic approach to identify and provide assistance for children before the age of seven with developmental needs in all aspects.
