The Early Preventive Support System for Child Development (APAS) has been established so that every child in Latvia receives timely and appropriate support for full development.
The system brings together health, education and social professionals to jointly identify the child's development needs at the earliest possible stage of development.
The aim of the APAS is to promote the growth of the child and achieve the best development results.
For parents this system can provide a sense of security and clarity as it will offer an understandable path to support options and professional advice.
Families will have access to a team of different professionals, all working for a single purpose. This will enable support from professionals from different fields, providing the answers that parents need and the best help for the child.
