Empowered Families, Successful Children : Early Intervention Programs That Work

The diverse services needed by young children with disabilities, chronic illness and developmental delays can challenge both their families and the support systems they rely on. This book provides a pragmatic approach to helping these children that empowers families, builds on competencies and resilience, and has a strong empirical basis. The cornerstone of this programme is its focus on the larger systems that support the child. This book describes how to meet the needs of children and their families while enhancing collaboration among service providers.
