Over the past two decades, the international community has made significant progress in saving the lives of six-year-olds. However, these advances have failed to help all children grow up, especially children with disabilities. Much research on early childhood development focuses on the impact of biological and psychological factors on brain development and the effect of early intervention on a child's development. However, research tends to exclude children with disabilities, so very little information is available on interventions and that work in this high-risk group. This article will attempt to provide an overview of the child's development and developmental disabilities. It will also highlight family-based interventions aimed at providing positive promotion of development in a safe, sustainable and caring environment. It focuses on making a case for improving the opportunities for children with developmental disabilities to achieve their full potential and potential, including interventions that include early childhood development. Finally, it will strive to encourage the international research community to use a systematic approach to implementing early intervention strategies for children with developmental disabilities in low-income areas.
