“…In recent years, it has been argued that a primary pursuit for early intervention service systems is to provide family support (Zigler & Black, 1989; Winton, & Simeonsson, 1992;Dunst, Trivette, & Deal, 1988;Shelton, Jeppson, & Johnson, 1987;Bailey, Simeonsson, Winton, Huntington, Comfort, Isbell, O'Donnell, & Helm, 1986). Service coordination is a critical component of service delivery that can simplify service systems and provide support to the family.…”

This study examined if a family's level of satisfaction improves when the service coordination they receive adheres to a family-centered model. The participants included three service coordinators and nine families participating in Part H of IDEA. For 1 year, families reported what services they had received and their level of satisfaction with the services. A multiple-baseline design across subjects was used and an individual assistance condition was added when, following training, none of the service coordinators adequately implemented the model. Results indicate a high degree of family satisfaction and a low degree of dissatisfaction when the model was adequately implemented. In contrast, when the model was not adequately implemented, families reported very little satisfaction and a high degree of dissatisfaction.

“…The instrument is an adaptation of McWilliam's (1993) earlier version and contains items selected based on studies of families' reactions to intervention plans (e.g., Able- Boone, Sanridall, Loughry, & Frederick, 1990;Summers et al, 1990), reflective writings about family-centered intervention plans (e.g., Bailey et al, 1986;Boone, McBride, Swann, Moore, & Drew, 1998;Johnson, McGonigel, & Kaufmann, 1989), curricula for developing family-centered intervention plans (Giangreco, Cloninger, & Iverson, 1993;McWilliam, 1992), and a review of the literature on family-centered practices in natural environments. Some of the items represent the more basic indicators of quality (selecting outcomes that match families' priorities), and others are indicative of the higher level qualities (strategies embedded in routines).…”

“…A model for family-focused intervention with young handicapped children has been developed (Bailey et al, 1986a(Bailey et al, , 1986b. It incorporates assumptions from family systems theory into the ABCX model framework, in which a family's strengths and resources, as well as the family's definitions and perspectives on critical variables, are considered integral parts of setting family goals.…”

A focus on parents in the last two decades, and on families most recently, has been a notable and consistent trend within the field of special education. Although continuity is apparent in the sense of the overall emphasis, the treatment of and attitudes toward families have undergone a series of shifts over time. These changes and how they have affected parent involvement policy and practice have been described in some detail elsewhere (see . Nevertheless, an examination of the most recent shift in thinking on parent involvement--0ne in which all of us in the field are a part-can provide the framework for applying effective strategies in working with families. PARENT INVOLVEMENT IN EARLY INTERVENTIONThe importance of involving parents of handicapped children in early intervention efforts was a recurrent and undisputed theme of the 1970s. Research clearly demonstrated parents' significant contribution to child development. The major assumption underlying efforts to involve parents was that this contribution could be enhanced by teaching parents (parents as learners) how to better manage and teach (parents as teachers) their own children. Professionals' efforts to improve services for parents primarily focused on ways to increase parent participation in activities of this type and on development of various parent training curricula and materials. The search for a model parent involvement program that could be disseminated on a nationwide basis was an elusive goal that some sought.The reason for involving parents was to enhance child outcome. This was so in spite of ample evidence demonstrating that parents of handicapped children had needs of their own. They were shown to suffer from depression, marital discord, and chronic sorrow, among other things. Within special education the predominant approach to dealing with this issue was to provide parent support groups. But the parent involvement trend of the 1970s did not incorporate an understanding of how parent needs might interact with child needs or interfere or be at cross purposes with the professional desire to enlist parent support for the educational process.
