Summary/Abstract: This article is concerned with the problems of early intervention services in Slovenia. From the year 2000 onwards, also blind and visually impaired Slovenian children have legal basis for wider possibilities for integratedforms of education. The problem is that they formally still do not receive any kind of intervention by the special education teacher for visually impaired. The first step towards enabling equal opportunities for blind and visually impaired children and their families is thus in enabling their full early intervention, at which also special education teacher, qualified for work with the youngest blind and visually impaired children, will participate.
