EARLY
INTERVENTION
• Early Intervention is the process of providing services, education
and support to young children who have developmental delays or
disabilities
• Early Intervention is a system of coordinated services that
promotes the child’s age-appropriate growth and development and
supports families during the critical early years.
• It’s like special education but it’s for eligible infants and toddlers
who are behind at reaching developmental milestones.

information about a topic of
relevance to the family or
assistance with family problems.
Early Intervention Services
Screening includes activities to identify children who
may need further evaluation in order to determine the
existence of a delay in development or a particular
disability
Evaluation is used to determine the existence of a
delay or disability to identify the child’s strengths and
needs in all areas of development
Assessment is used to determine the individual
child’s present level of performances and early

PROCESS OF INCLUSION
PHILIPPINE MODEL
• The 2009 Department of Education Order No. 72 defines inclusive
education as the philosophy of accepting all children regardless of race,
size, shape, color, ability or disability with support from school staff,
students, parents and the community.
• The more recent 2013 Enhanced Basic Education Act refers to gifted
and talented children; learners with disabilities; learners of the
madrasa curriculum; indigenous peoples; and learners in difficult
circumstances, such as geographical isolation, chronic illness, abuse, or
displacement due to armed conflict, urban resettlement or disaster as
target groups of inclusive education.
What are the Philippine
Models of Inclusion?
The Child with Special
Needs( Vision)
Self- Instruction
Self - Monitoring
Self – Reinforcement
Self- Determination
What is the process
of Inclusion?
Inclusion is concerned with the
identification and removal of
barriers. Consequently, it
involves collecting ,collating and
evaluating information from a
wide variety of sources in order
to plan for improvement in policy
and practice
Partial Mainstreaming Towards Inclusion
Mainstreaming is the placement of a student in
regular classroom for educational purposes.’’
Partial mainstreaming is the placement of
students with disabilities in the regular
classroom for part of their instructional day ,but
not as the primary placement. The
alternative curriculum involves teaching survival
skills as well as independent living skills
Partial Mainstream
Towards Inclusion
Full Mainstreaming or inclusion
refers to children with an IEP
attending a regular classroom
for their social and academic
benefit but these children are
not expected to learn the same
materials as the rest of the class
Full Mainstreaming Towards
Inclusion
TRANSITIONS PROGRAM
The Transition Program is
designed to teach independent
living skills, including vocational
skills to students receiving
special education services ages
18-22. As they make progress

abilities, determine job
preferences and learn to work
with growing independence

academic and functional achievement
of the students with a disability to
facilitate the students movement from
school to post-school
What are transition
programs for students with
disabilities?
For the special needs child however
,transition has very specific

students with disabilities
National IP Education Policy

Framework. This Policy
Framework is intended to be an
instrument for promoting shared
accountability ,continuous
dialogue ,engagement and
partnership among government
,IP communities civil society, and
other education stakeholders
What is National IP

The right of indigenous
peoples (IP) to basic education
that is responsive to their

knowledge skills and other
aspects of their cultural
heritage.
What is IP education?
DO 32,s 2015 – Adopting the
indigenous Peoples Education
Curriculum Framework. Pursuant
to DepEd Order No.
Fundamental to IPED is
establishing institutionalized
partnership between indigenous
communities and the respective
schools/learning programs which
serve them
What is DepEd Order No 32
S 2015?
The Indigenous Peoples Education (IPEd)
Program is DepEd’s response to the right of
indigenous peoples (IP) to basic education that
is responsive to their context, respects their
identities, and promotes the value of their
indigenous knowledge, skills, and other aspects
of their cultural heritage.
Specifically, the objectives of the IPEd
Program are the following:
a. make the curriculum culturally responsive to
the specific
community context of IP learners;
b. builds the capacity of teachers, school heads,
and other
concerned personnel at different levels of
governance in
implementing culture-based education for IPs;
c. support the development of culturally
appropriate learning resources and learning
environment responsive to the specific
community context of IP learners;
d. strengthen the policy environment supportive
of IPEd; and
e. address the learning needs of IP learners who
lack access to basic ducation services
The IPEd Program supports the realization
of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum, which
subscribes to the following standards and
principles, among others: inclusive, culture-
sensitive, and flexible enough to enable and
allow schools to localize, indigenize, and enhance
based on the community’s educational and social
context.
To strengthen the capacity of DepEd in
responding to IP learning needs, in a manner
that is flexible, demand-driven, and evidence-
based, a Program Support Fund (PSF) shall be
provided to regional and schools division offices
in FY 2016.
For the implementation of the program in
2016, the PSF shall be used solely for IPEd-related
activities that support three (3) thematic
focus areas, namely:
(1) curriculum and learning resources development;
(2) capacity building; and,
(3) education planning for IPEd.
These focus areas aim at further building the
institutional capacity of DepEd offices in responding
to and managing the complexities of IPEd
implementation, supporting the indigenization of
the curriculum at the
school/division level
