摘要:Infants and toddlers with special needs within the developing context in South Africa are not currently receiving adequate early communication intervention services. The development of a model for service delivery to this population is imperative for the successful implementation of early communication intervention in the developing context in South Africa. The basic model of early intervention service delivery provides a theoretical basis for early intervention service delivery but has certain limitations when applied to the developing context in South Africa. Community-based intervention is proposed as an avenue for the delivery of health care services within primary health care although constraints in the application of community-based intervention exist. An integrated model of early communication intervention service delivery within community-based intervention is proposed and illustrated by presenting a case example.
