Ensuring High Quality Early Intervention Services
Early intervention providers strive to adhere to the guiding principles of early intervention service provision as stated by IDEA. EI providers work in partnership with families in the natural environment to facilitate the child’s learning and participation in typical routines, address the specific needs of the family, offer support and provide access to resources.
In order to maintain a high level of commitment to the families served, EI providers must reflect on their effectiveness in guiding families toward their chosen outcomes and identifying challenges that may impede progress. A process for routinely assessing a family’s needs and the relevance of the services provided will be discussed.
This presentation will guide participants in using this process with families; upon initial implementation of services, following the process as services continue and addressing family concerns that may inhibit full and active participation. This process for service provision, based on the current needs of the family, supports the foundational philosophies of early intervention and increases the likelihood of positive outcomes for the family.
- At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will: 1. Understand the value of reflecting on their own effectiveness when working with families. 2. Acquire a resource that will support early interventionists in their endeavor to improve the services they provide. 3. Learn how this process is beneficial in identifying challenges to the families they serve. 4. Learn how to apply this process to reflect upon their own delivery of service in accordance with early intervention principles.
