  • Solutions to successfully transition therapy into the child’s natural environment

Have you heard the buzz about changes in IDEA Part C guidelines and a renewed focus on family centered care?

Not sure what it all means or how it applies to your clinical practice? While family centered care is not a new idea, actually implementing it in your visits with early intervention (EI) families may seem less than intuitive and challenging to accomplish. This workshop dispels the myths and helps you break the barriers surrounding family centered care such as:

  • It’s not in my scope of practice, so I could lose my license.
  • The home has too many distractions like the TV, family dog and siblings - I can’t get anything accomplished!
  • The mom wants me to be the expert and fix their child.
  • There are no toys or materials in the home for me to use.
  • The children prefer my toys.
  • I have families who have no structure or routines to embed my strategies into.
  • Parents on my caseload refuse to sit with me and participate.
  • At daycare I end up being a distraction to the rest of the class and have to pull the child to another room.

You will also be equipped with specific, concrete strategies for shifting your attention away from the child and toward the family as a whole.

Transitioning your practice to family centered care means changing your clinical habits.

We have the solutions you need!

Join early intervention expert, Beth Hathaway, OTD, MS, OTR/L, for this comprehensive one-day workshop and discover how to break the barriers you face with changing your clinical habits and implementing family centered care. Through a series of short 10-15 minute lectures and interactive class activities you will walk away with a new “EI Toolkit” full of exciting and fresh ways to continue making a difference in young children (birth-3 years) and their families’ lives, such as:

  • Proven techniques for coaching EI families through the family centered care approach
  • Therapeutic strategies to be embedded throughout daily family routines
  • Specific activities using common household materials so the family can continue therapy
  • Barrier breaking solutions to implementing family centered care

This practical, solution-based workshop is sure to have a lasting impact on your effectiveness as a provider of early intervention for a wide range of developmental disorders, including:

  • Autism
  • Apraxia
  • Dyspraxia
  • Articulation
  • Pragmatics
  • Functional Communication
  • Down syndrome
