Early intervention is a set of actions aimed at children who are at risk or who could potentially present a disability, whereas neurodevelopment is a dynamic interactive process between children and their environment, achieving the maturation of the nervous system and the development of brain functions. The objective of this study was to examine the implementation of an Early Intervention Service (EIS) in neurodevelopment in the City of Coronel Oviedo in 2021. This research adopted a qualitative and hermeneutic approach at an exploratory level. Data was collected through documentary analysis of the institution and using a semi-structured interview. Results indicate that early care at the local level is a relatively new field with significant achievements because of the scope and effectiveness of the service. However, barely a decade has passed since the training of professionals in this area and the implementation of the service began but currently it is one of the most requested services, the demand exceeds the number of professionals, in that sense the waiting list had a quarterly cut for the discharge and admission of new users. Early care is a little studied field, therefore future research should provide updated content according to the needs of professionals and family-centered practices, covering different existing centers in Paraguay.
