The modern approach in early intervention implies coordinated and interactive work of all members of the transdisciplinary team through the active participation of experts and parents/guardians. Therefore, this model enables the provision of services that are aimed at children and families. The aim of this paper is to point out the mistakes of team members that lead to uncoordinated and integrated services, so it is difficult to respond to the needs of children with disabilities and their families, which directly affects the quality of early child development. The sample included 100 respondents from Serbia, 97% of mothers of children with disabilities and 3% of guardian / adoptive parents. Data were collected using the online survey technique. The statistical processing of the data showed that from the first suspicion that something was wrong with the child to reporting to a professional, the largest number of respondents 44% waited from one month to 6 months, and as many as 13% that they waited longer than 6 months . It was necessary to wait from one month to 4.5 years to establish the diagnosis. As the main reasons for the late report to the special educator, they state the omissions of experts, ignorance in which cases the special educator can help and the advice of experts (child psychologist, kindergarten teacher) “to wait some more time”. When it comes to parent’s mistakes, one of the most important data is that 69% of children had contact with any smart device in the first year. Almost 30% of children aged 1,5 to 3 consume exclusively soft pureed food. The results of the research speak in favor of the fact that for the best treatment in special education and rehabilitation programs, for children up to 6 years of age, it is extremely important to network institutions that provide services in the field of health, education and social protection. Provide a transdisciplinary approach, provide services in line with the individual needs of the child, educate professionals and evaluate services.
