The importance of early intervention in conditions of transition

Abstract

In this work we have shown the theoretical aspects of an early intervention in the conditions of a transition process. Transition is a turbulent social period, which significantly disturbs the functioning of a social system and all subjects which are part of that system. Even common people find it difficult to cope within such social turbulenses. Therefore, the pervention, the detection and the clinical treatment for people with special needs are especially difficult, and that requires additional efforts not only of the family and of the broder envirnoment but also the efforts of the overall sociaty and specialised institutions which provide care for those people. We have concluded that the process of the early intervention in transitional conditions such as are conditions in our country and in the souranding countries, is underdeveloped. The early intervention process is largely disturbed by strong economical changes, which affects the overall population and also the individuals with special needs, such as are elder or people with illnesses. Besides the early intervention process, the early detection and the clinical treatment are also affected The clinical treatment requires additional social efforts and commitment so that a normal functioning of the social care system can be provided Above mentioned aspects are currently underdeveloped and that gives the impresion that, for their uniquness, those people are first at the hit of transitional and economical changes.
