Nowadays, the application of the early intervention programs emphasizes the importance of the contexts in which the child develops and in its interactions with the environment. The educational model adapts itself to new concepts and shapes of the early intervention, based on an ecological and transactional view. There are several significant issues, as the detection, the pursuit, or the early school, in addition to individual and systematized intervention child based. In this report, we update the concepts of the early intervention according to educational model. We revise the preceding and the contextualization from an early intervention service dependent on the educational administration in a Spanish area (Murcia), and we describe the different programs from the early intervention teams in that area. Finally, methodological and organizational issues are collected for the performance of the early intervention programs.
