Early childhood development and inclusion highlighted in regional discussions

early childhood development educational inclusion rare diseases early intervention pediatric health

Educational and health experts are emphasizing the critical importance of early childhood intervention and inclusive practices. In Chile, Fundación Integra marked 36 years of operation, noting that approximately 90% of human brain development occurs before the age of five. The organization highlighted the need for territorial relevance and inclusive education that respects diverse identities, such as the Mapuche people, in the Araucanía region.

At the II International and Ibero-American Congress on Early Intervention and Educational Inclusion (ATIE 2026) held in Uruguay, academic Claudia Lagos Serrano discussed the tensions between clinical, adult-centric models and post-structural perspectives. She argued that children should be recognized as subjects with their own experiences rather than merely objects of evaluation and deficit detection.

In Spain, Agustín Pérez, Undersecretary of Health for the Municipality of Río Grande, advocated for enhanced medical training to improve the detection of rare diseases in children. He noted that specialized training for pediatricians, nurses, and primary care workers is essential to identify subtle symptoms early and reduce diagnostic delays for families.
