Abstract

A systematic literature review of studies published in the 2000–2020 period on the efficacy of programs for early intervention in young children with disabilities aged between 0 and 8 years in assisting their development was presented. This review employed 25 empirical studies to evaluate different early intervention programs employed to assist young children with disabilities in their development. The findings were based on the academic results at the end of early childhood, whereby various programs showed a strong evidence of efficacy. Conclusion and limitations were also presented
