Provide Early Intervention for 100 kids in Mexico

During 2025, the early intervention project consolidated a comprehensive care model that improved the clinical and daily experience of families. Through inter-service coordination, clinical pathways, individualized programs, and safety protocols were implemented, resulting in improvements in mobility, posture, balance, muscle tone control, and nutritional status, as well as a reduction in complications.

Hydrotherapy, tailored dental care, and nutritional strategies promoted functional progress and treatment tolerance. Comprehensive medical assessments and timely therapeutic adjustments helped reduce avoidable hospitalizations and improve the management of comorbidities.

Staff training and family empowerment were also strengthened through workshops and guides, which increased adherence to therapies and greater independence at home. Finally, the recording of indicators and the creation of replicable materials laid the foundation for the program's sustainability and expansion, improving the quality of life and the social and educational participation of the beneficiaries.

At this stage, efforts have focused on expanding diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, as well as strengthening the interdisciplinary nature of interventions. This systematic approach ensures the sustainability and longevity of interventions.

Meet Daphne

Daphne,beneficiary of 11 months of age, who enters the early care program with the diagnosis of leukomalacia and high neurological risk.

She entered the service at 3 months of age, so objectives were established with the mother based on her stage of development, promoting head control and reaching to encourage bimanual manipulation; Dafne was hypoactive to various stimuli.

Currently, Dafne responds actively, performs independent sitting, turns and independent transitions, so she is starting with supported standing to begin lateral walking.

This month we launched the 8th generation of the Diploma in Early Care, with which we provide training to health specialists for early childhood care with 35 professionals trained and in the process of certification by UNAM.

We continue to work on an individualized basis, regular follow-up sessions were carried out to evaluate the progress of each patient, incorporating clinical data and metrics collected by the different services they access in APAC. During these sessions, the patient's response to the interventions was observed, progress towards the established goals was measured, and challenges were discussed. This combined monitoring allowed for timely adjustments to the treatment plan, ensuring that interventions will continue to be effective and tailored to the patient's changing needs.

Constant communication with patients and families, supported by reports and visualizations of progress generated by technology, was essential to keep them informed, engaged and participatory in therapeutic decision-making.

A story that inspires

Meet Sofia, she is currently 2 years old, she entered the early intervention service with the diagnosis of Down syndrome and global developmental delay. Upon admission, Sofia only moved by crawling. Low muscle tone was observed in a generalized way, optimal head and trunk control, independent sitting, but he had difficulty in independent transitions, as well as difficulty in following simple indications. Currently, Sofi is fully adapted to her physical therapy sessions, she has achieved a lateral walk with support and increased muscle tone of the 4 limbs, coordination activities and weight bearing are carried out, as well as integrating walking promoting her independence, which has been part of the teaching plan to parents.
