Abstract: All individuals with disabilities are ethically entitled to receive intervention services in order to reach their maximum potential. While not perfected through practice, there is movement to ensure these individuals receive appropriate services [1]. To date, many countries practice human rights for those with disabilities as outlined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities [2]. Although countries have ratified these treaties, a substantial need remains for effective early intervention models that are culturally transferable and suitable for diverse audiences and their needs. In other words, early intervention strategies that are effective for children and families in America are not necessarily equally effective for children and families in Africa.
