“…This support can lessen the stress on the mother of a child with disabilities and positively affect infant social development (Withrow, 2008).

“…Culturally protective factors are those factors that are present in a cultural group that can increase the resiliency of the families of children receiving EI services (Mogro-Wilson, 2011; Withrow, 2008). For example, some cultural groups typically provide strong maternal social support (2011) and Rogoff (2003).…”

“…Providers need to be aware that their values and beliefs regarding families, child development, and desired outcomes are shaped by their culture (Lynch & Hanson, 2011). By taking time to examine their beliefs about these concepts, providers will be able to more effectively identify how their cultural beliefs impact their professional practice (Kalyanpur & Harry, 1997;Withrow, 2008). One way to accomplish this is through self-questioning (Kalyanpur & Harry, 1997).…”

“…Family-centered EI services are rooted in the knowledge that infants and toddlers with disabilities are best helped when their family is empowered to actively participate in decision making (Withrow, 2008). To do so, service providers need to acquire knowledge of the cultural beliefs and practices valued by the families they serve (Lynch & Hanson, 2011;Puig, 2010).…”

“…The population of children and families receiving EI services is increasingly diverse, making it likely that service providers will work with families from cultures other than their own (Durand, 2010;Withrow, 2008). Culture has been defined as beliefs, traditions, activities, and practices that may be shared by members of a community (Rogoff, 2003) and more simply, as a worldview that helps us make sense of what we know (Kalyanpur & Harry, 1997).…”

anya is an infant toddler developmental specialist who has been working in the field for 5 years. She recently was asked to work with a Filipino-American family, the Capunos, to provide weekly early intervention (EI) services for their son David. David is a 27-month-old boy whose Individualized Family Service Plan indicates the need for support in the areas of communication and social interaction. David is the youngest child of the three Capuno children and the only son. At the first visit, Tanya asks the family about David's favorite activities, the family's typical day and week, and what their concerns are for David. Mrs. Capuno shares that she stays home with David and Chesa, her younger daughter, whereas her older daughter Angel attends first grade. Mr. Capuno works 6 days per week with a rotating day off at a local office supply store. Mrs. Capuno, David, and Chesa walk Angel to school each morning and pick her up each afternoon. David enjoys riding in a stroller during these walks and often jabbers and points at people and cars along the way. Mr. Capuno smiles when he describes how absorbed David becomes in rolling his toy trucks around the kitchen. He also tells Tanya that he would like for David to talk more because he only says the words Mama and no. Mrs. Capuno says that she would like for David to play more nicely with his sisters, and Tanya observes David hitting and biting his sisters and parents when he is frustrated. Both parents tell Tanya that they have noticed that David is often more aggressive in the morning and when he is tired. When Tanya asks about David's sleeping habits, Mrs. Capuno shares that David sleeps in the bed with them because he does not fall asleep well by himself. Tanya asks the Capuno family which concerns they feel are the most important and should be addressed first. Mr. and Mrs. Capuno agree that they would like David to be less aggressive and use more words to communicate with them. Tanya thinks about strategies that have worked with other families experiencing similar concerns. She suggests to the Capunos that they make it difficult for David to access his juice cup and a favorite toy truck, to provide opportunities for him to ask for it. She also suggests that because David is more aggressive when tired, the family could develop a set bedtime and nightly routine for David and be firm in enforcing it. One other recommendation that Tanya makes is to remove David to a quiet Culturally Responsive Early Intervention Services / Bradshaw
