The issues arising from implementing an early intervention service, developed in the rural United States in the late 1960s in a range of different cultural contexts over a period of a quarter of a century, are explained. Services from India, Bangladesh, Jamaica and the United Kingdom are compared. As well as considering cross-cultural aspects of Portage, variability within one country, the United Kingdom, is considered by comparing one service in an inner-city area and one in a rural area.
本文解释了20世纪60年代末在美国农村地区开发的一项早期干预服务在四分之一世纪的时间里，在一系列不同文化背景下实施所产生的问题。文中比较了来自印度、孟加拉国、牙买加和英国的服务。除了考虑波特奇计划（Portage）的跨文化方面，还通过比较英国一个内城区和一个农村地区的一项服务，来探讨英国国内的差异。
