Synopsis

Nearly all young children grow, learn, and develop within a family context, and many teachers, therapists, health providers, and students of these disciplines need to be better prepared to work with families of children who have special needs. For professors and staff development specialists working to sharpen the skills of students and working professionals in family-centered early intervention, a comprehensive, easy-to-use resource is essential.
This informative textbook puts practical information on family-centered care, collaborative team building, and coordination of services into the hands of those who need it. Featuring a variety of learning aids and hands-on, field-tested activities, Partnerships in Family-Centered Care: A Guide to Collaborative Early Intervention offers straightforward guidance to enhance students' abilities to ensure the inclusion of families as primary members of the intervention team, provide services that address the priorities of the entire family, implement Part H of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), identify and remove the "overlapping" of service delivery within the human services system, and coordinate the provision of services and supports in ways that take into account the unique resources and concerns of all families.
