Abstract
Early intervention with children suffering from a pervasive developmental disorder is widely recognized. However, models of services which integrate the many components are lacking. It is indeed important to support not only the child but also his family, to identify the needs at an early stage and to assess and diagnose very early on in order to respond rapidly. This article proposes a model of services divided in five phases: 1) early identification; 2) individualized family service plan; 3) preliminary assessment of the child; 4) detailed diagnostic evaluation and 5) intervention. The last two phases are concurrent while the five phases are elaborated as well as integrated within a dynamic model.
