Abstract:

Services like early intervention, volunteer help in parenthood or sanitation of family are multidisciplinary programmes of assistance to families with young children which are incorporated into the system of social services. The main aim of our contribution is to provide basic informations about the listed services, evaluate their availibility for potential clients and point out the importance of interdisciplinary approach in professional care for families that need some special developmental care. The largest space we give to early intervention what we are compared with similar services in 4 European countries. We wanted to contribute better coordination, cooperation, or progression of all mentioned services to the future. Multidisciplinary care of families with young children could be more effectively.
