EURLYAID welcomes you!
University of Córdoba Awards Honorary Doctorate to Professor Ana María Serrano, Leading Expert in Early Childhood Intervention
We meet them again and again. Two years ago on the day when everyone dreamed of a short-lived invasion, in Prague last year where everyone dreamed that the nightmare would be over before winter set in. We light a candle for our colleagues. How much we have learned from you, and above all, love

EURLYAID Statement on Protecting Young Children and Families in Times of Crisis
EURLYAID expresses deep concern for young children and families affected by ongoing humanitarian crises around the world.
In situations of conflict, displacement, and disaster, young children are particularly vulnerable. Disruption of family routines, loss of safety, and limited access to health, education, and social support services can have profound effects on their development and wellbeing.
EURLYAID reaffirms the fundamental right of every young child to grow up in a safe, nurturing environment and recognizes the critical role of families and communities in protecting and supporting children, especially during times of crisis.
We stand in solidarity with families, professionals, and organizations working to ensure that young children continue to receive care, protection, and opportunities for development, even in the most challenging circumstances.

Abstract:
Eurlyaid is a working party of the European Community (EC). It consists of experts and representatives of parents’ associations from the various member states involved in early intervention for children who are disabled or at risk of developmental disabilities. Starting from the growing recognition of the importance of early identification and intervention Eurlyaid aims to contribute to the development of a common EC policy and legislation. Here we describe a comprehensive framework for early intervention, presented as a preliminary manifesto. First of all the Manifesto gives a definition of key concepts, delineates the target group and states the rationale behind, and the content, of early intervention. Secondly, we present the conditions and demands necessary to attain the best quality early intervention, and make a number of recommendations. With an EC grant, Eurlyaid is able to continue its activities as part of ALEFPA-Europe, a so-called non-governmental organization (NGO).
