Decent Essays

I would engage parents/family members in the early intervention process by using the family-centered approach and the child’s natural environments. The family-centered approach “addresses and honor the family’s needs to be placed at the center of the work and family members’ goals and opinions” (Kirk, Gallagher, and Coleman; p. 73). Using the family-centered approach to engage parents/family members create a plan for the child’s development but also stimulates family members to give positive attachments to their child when given outside support (Kirk, Gallagher, and Coleman; p. 73). Another form of having the parents/family members to engage in the early intervention process is through having interventions in the child’s natural environments.
