Early detection and intervention for young children with early developmental disabilities in Western Uganda: a mixed-methods evaluation.

Background: Early support for children with developmental disabilities is crucial but frequently unavailable in low-resource settings. We conducted a mixed-methods evaluation to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of a programme of early detection and intervention for young children with developmental disabilities in Western Uganda.

Methods: Early child development training for healthcare workers (HCWs) was implemented in three rural districts, and attendance was tracked.
