Child Development and Early Intervention
Before going to kindergartens at the ages of between 0 and 3, children are experiencing the critical period for brain development. By the age of 3, 80-90% of children's brains are already developed. During this time, children develop at different speeds, and some of them will require more activities to facilitate their brain development. These activities are referred to as early intervention. According to scientific researches, we already know that if children can receive early intervention services before 3 years old, they will achieve developmental improvements more efficiently!
Project background
Thanks to the government's efforts and the endeavors of the NPOs over the years, Taiwan already has a sophisticated childhood early intervention system in place. However, some of the parents are unaware of when their children need early intervention, or they simply do not have the time or energy to take them to early intervention due to their work commitment or physical conditions. As a result, their children cannot benefit from the support of the early intervention system. Through in-depth interviews, Ming Yi's team can listen to the parents' feedback while constantly contemplating how we can be of assistance. The aim is to reduce the parents' problems in raising their children by ascertaining their needs in advance so that they can receive early intervention.
Goals
To discover children in need of early intervention early, before they enter kindergarten at the age of 3-4, and let them receive early intervention service.
01. Unleash the core competencies of technology and medical care.
02. Design products and services inspired by the spirit of innovative thinking and emphasis on user experience.
Challenges
01. Parents believe that each child has his/her unique development path and are afraid of reacting too soon; hence, they become hesitant about seeking help.
02. Design products and services inspired by the spirit of innovative thinking and emphasis on user experience.
03. Parents are afraid of putting labels on their children, in turn missing out on the golden period to let them receive early intervention.
Output
Early Intervention in Taiwan in 2022｜Research Report
We are endeavoring to promote the first analysis of social services, summarizing many insights from NPOs accumulated over the years in the service field. This includes the solutions designed and the constraints faced by organizations, assisting sponsors in "systematically understanding public service.
Guideline to the Development Of Children Aged 0～6｜Information Platform
Working with Heho.com, we create developmental milestones and checklists for infants and young children aged 0-6, and provide home-based early intervention exercises for children with developmental delays. On the parenting journey, we hope growing together with parents and children!
