摘要:

This article proposes a model for parent-professional relationships, the family-centered consultation model. A comparison is made between the professional's role in traditional models of intervention and his or her role in the family-centered consultation model of intervention. Practical suggestions are provided to illustrate ways of implementing this family-centered approach.

摘要:

Mothers consistently have been the focus of family intervention related to special needs children. Few teams have identified the inclusion of the father as a priority. These facts are based on the assumption that fathers are either uninterested or uninvolved in the care and education of their children. However, an historical and cultural review of the literature suggests that this characterization is mythical. In reality, fathers, or those who assume paternal roles, want to be involved and have unique characteristics and competencies that foster child development. To support the challenge of becoming actively involved with the therapeutic and educational community and prevent paternal problems, specific suggestions for interventionists are described to enhance the involvement of fathers in the planning and implementation of programming related to Public Law 99-457.

摘要:

A partnership model for establishing interactive relationships with infants and young children at risk is presented. The model is based on a parent-infant intervention approach that has been extended for use in classrooms and across several disciplines. The model specifies a series of adult interactive styles that provide for a finely tuned relationship that allows infants to learn to communicate within natural and therapeutic contacts. The critical role that adults' interactive styles play in early social and communicative development is addressed for delays in motor, cognitive, language, and parenting development.

Observation of infants' and young children's play, in particular symbolic play behavior, can be an informative and powerful assessment strategy for those engaged in early intervention. Information gained through such observation also can serve intervention efforts well. This article presents a framework and overview of the development of play and symbolic play, with special emphasis given to assessment considerations.

摘要:

The proportion of culturally diverse families is growing at a dramatic rate; therefore, professionals in the field of early intervention will have significantly greater contact with families from diverse backgrounds. This study reports on the specific cross cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills professionals in the field of early intervention consider essential and how the professionals differ in their training and needs from a group of national presenters on multicultural issues in early intervention. Significant differences were found between the national presenters and professionals in their views regarding the importance of acknowledging one's own culture and being aware of the beliefs, values, and structure of the families that are served.

摘要:

The policy innovations of Public Law 99-457 call for dramatic changes in early intervention services for the families of handicapped and “at-risk” infants and toddlers throughout this country within the next several years. A conceptual framework that can integrate the positive aspects of the child-centered approach with the new family-centered approach is needed. The Double ABCX Model of Family Adaptation is presented as a mulcidisciplinary, integrated approach for use in PL 99-457 service provision.
