Summary/Abstract: Early intervention and early support of the disabled child have functioned in the Czech Republic for many years. They have become a part of both the family support system and the policy for the disabled. Early intervention and support are an integral part of the local system of supporting families with disabled children or children endangered with disability. The presented study is aimed at presenting changes in the system of early support in the Czech Republic, its main assumptions and legal foundations, as well as at illustrating the activity of a selected institution of early support.
