years, the Association has organized conferences, scientific days,

working network, two national surveys on EIS and produced a

document to favour their development. The results of the second

survey are the more updated and articulated about the number of

early interventions services, their characteristics and distribution

in the different Italian regions. The survey conclusion is that

EI Services implementation in Italy has been proceeding, albeit

slowly. Nevertheless, there is still a great variability of therapeutic

strategies and further efforts are then necessary to stimulate

resources allocation as well as to assess and address adherence

and fidelity to guidelines recommendations.
