In recent years, efforts to promote early intervention for children with developmental delays have been made to prevent further pathological invasion in children. Early rehabilitation through early screening not only enhances treatment effectiveness but also significantly reduces the pain and damage caused by diseases to families. In the concept of preventive healthcare strategies, it can be divided into three stages and five levels: (1) Primary prevention: can be divided into two levels, health promotion, and specific protection. (2) Secondary prevention: providing early treatment through early screening. (3) Tertiary prevention: mainly aimed at restoring the maximum function of disabilities caused by diseases, only causing minimal restrictions on personal function, and can be divided into two levels, limitation of disability, and rehabilitation treatment. In this article, besides exploring the causes of early childhood developmental disorders, the author combines preventive healthcare strategies to propose the differentiated application of early intervention in the three stages of preventive healthcare. This article reviews the current situation and challenges in Taiwan, and proposes possible responses based on scholars' views and personal opinions, aiming to enhance the quality of early intervention services provided by interdisciplinary teams.
