I.P.I. Bem Crescer
Early Childhood Intervention
The Bem Crescer Local Intervention Team (ELI) is an Early Childhood Intervention team working within the National Early Childhood Intervention System (Sistema Nacional de Intervenção Precoce na Infância, SNIPI). We support children aged 0 to 6 with impairments in body functions or structures, or at risk of developmental delay, together with their families.
What is Early Intervention?
Early Childhood Intervention (IPI) is a set of integrated support measures centred on the child and the family, including both preventive and rehabilitative work across education, health and social care. Support takes place in the child's everyday settings, such as the family home and the nursery or pre-school.
Our Team
ELI Bem Crescer is a multidisciplinary team of education, health and social care professionals who work closely together to meet the needs of each child and family.
2 Cooperation Agreements
ELI Bem Crescer operates under 2 cooperation agreements with SNIPI, covering the municipalities of Silves and Lagoa, so that families across a wide part of the Algarve can get the Early Childhood Intervention support they need.
How It Works
Referral
A child can be referred by their family, family doctor, teacher or anyone who sees a need for support.
Assessment
The team carries out an overall assessment of the child and family, identifying their needs and the resources available.
Individual Plan
An Individual Early Intervention Plan (Plano Individual de Intervenção Precoce, PIIP) is drawn up together with the family, setting goals and strategies.
Intervention
Support takes place in the child's everyday settings, with the family actively involved.
Completely FREE Service
Early Childhood Intervention is entirely free of charge. Any organisation or person can refer a child using the SNIPI Referral Form (Ficha de Referenciação).
