It is never too late, never, no matter what the circumstances or age. Having attained a doctorate specializing in early intervention, too early is a difficult concept to consider. Rarely is "too early" a term expressed in conversations related to early intervention and identification. Professionals and parents should seek to provide appropriate follow-through services for individuals identified as early as possible. Early identification benefits a person's development rather than causing possible harm by “waiting to see”. Therefor reducing the negative effects of not providing services which can lead to possible academic, emotional, and social struggles in the future.
