TARGET POPULATION * Parents living in Moncton, Dieppe, Memramcook, Shediac, Cap-Pele and the surrounding areas can (according to certain criteria) benefit from early intervention services starting when their child is born, or at any other time deemed necessary, until the child goes to kindergarten. * The Provincial Early Intervention Services Standard describe three categories of characteristics which can hinder a child’s development. The children eligible for early intervention services will thus fall within one or more of the following categories of risk factors:   A- Congenital or acquired health factors (genetic and chromosonal syndromes, neurological disorders ...)   B- Developmental factors (birth trauma, prematurity, general acquired developmental challenges [due to injury or illness]...)   C- Family interaction factors (any stress that could hinder optimum development of the family and/or the child)
