For the purposes of this work, children with disabilities include disabled children or children aged 0 to 8 years who are not recognized as disabled in the prescribed manner, but who have temporary or permanent deviations in physical and (or) mental development (hereinafter - children with disabilities). The legislative basis for the implementation of the rights and opportunities of children with disabilities and their families is constituted by constitutional provisions that enshrine state guarantees for the protection of childhood, motherhood, paternity, family (part 1 of article 38, paragraph "g.1" of part 1 of article 72 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation). An early start of comprehensive care for children with disabilities contributes to the maximum possible achievements in the development of the child, maintaining his health, as well as successful socialization and inclusion of the child in the educational environment with subsequent integration into society. The research material was the international treaties and regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation on providing early assistance to children with disabilities.

This article outlines the directions for improving legal regulation in terms of legislative consolidation of the institution of providing early assistance to children with disabilities by amending the current legislative acts of the federal level.
