“…Families have identified characteristics that define high quality early intervention service providers as good listeners and communicators (Blue-Banning, Summers, Frankland, Nelson, & Beegle, 2004;Case-Smith & Nastro, 1993;Dinnebeil, Hale, & Rule, 1999;Washington & Schwartz, 1996) and individuals who demonstrate sensitivity to children, provide individual attention to their child, follow through with ideas, and have a willingness to ignore the clock during therapy sessions (McWilliam, Young, & Harville, 1996). In addition to these characteristics, parents report that it is important for service providers to have technical knowledge and skills (Wehman & Gilkerson, 1999), involve families in their children's learning, focus on their child's strengths (Dinnebeil et al, 1999;Viscardis, 1998), fit therapy into family daily routines and activities (Brotherson & Goldstein, 1992;Edwards, Milland, Praskac, & Wisniewski, 2003), use technology as part of intervention (Brotherson & Goldstein, 1992), and include siblings in therapy sessions (Thompson, 1998).…”

Occupational and physical therapists and speech language pathologists provide services for almost half of the children enrolled in early intervention programs nationally. Each professional association has adopted documents defining practice in early intervention that advocate for family-centered practices and interventions embedded in family activities and routines. However, educational programs preparing each of these disciplines offer little information in preprofessional programs about early intervention, and therapists working in early intervention self-report low levels of competence. Many practicing therapists are required to complete continuing education requirements to maintain their licenses or certification, but less than a third of state Part C programs have adopted early intervention credentials or have annual professional development requirements. This combination of limited preprofessional preparation with minimal postgraduate professional development results in an early intervention therapy workforce with less than adequate preparation and necessitates a new look at therapists' preparation by their professional associations, educational programs, and State Part C agencies.

“…In FCP home programmes, therapists are expert partners working with parents to support their child's development and health by enhancing caregiving competency (Washington & Schwartz, 1996). Therapists do not 'direct' programmes, and families do not 'comply', instead they participate in or implement programmes.…”

“…FCP home programmes thus require very different therapy roles from those traditionally taken and these roles reflect shifts in parent-therapist relationships in recent years (Turnbull & Turnbull, 1990;Hinojosa, Sproat, Mankhetwit & Anderson, 2002). In FCP home programmes, therapists are expert partners working with parents to support their child's development and health by enhancing caregiving competency (Washington & Schwartz, 1996). Therapists do not 'direct' programmes, and families do not 'comply', instead they participate in or implement programmes.…”

Aim: Home programmes are used extensively for children with cerebral palsy. Even though there is consensus about the importance of home programme intervention, there is little evidence of efficacy and scant information regarding programme characteristics that might affect family participation. Instead, research to date has focussed on parental compliance with prescribed programmes and parent-child interactions. Methods: Based on reviewed literature, this article proposes a model to guide development of home programmes for children with cerebral palsy. It is a starting point for therapists to consider the way in which they focus and structure their home programmes for children who have cerebral palsy. Results and Conclusions: The paper identifies an urgent need to develop clinical guidelines for home programmes through rigorous formal processes and to evaluate the impact of occupational therapy home programmes.

“…Services were most beneficial when they were in a family-centered way and address parent-identified issues such as availability of social support, family functioning, and child behaviour problems (40). Parents' sense of control over life events was associated with professionals empowering behaviours and sense of caregiving competency was related to conformity with service providers (41,42). An individualized family-focused model based on collaboration of parents and professionals and parent education resulted in high levels of parenteral satisfaction and accelerated developmental progress in children with moderate or severe disabilities (43).…”

“…Home programs have been designed for implementation of familycentered care in the context of daily life by families (52). Familycentered home programs differ from traditional therapies; therapists do not direct programs instead, they are expert partners of parents working together to support child's development and health through enhancing caregiving competency (53). A model of home program was evaluated in a pilot study (54) including 20 children with spastic hemiplegic CP and in a randomized controlled trial (55) including 86 children.…”

There has been a growing understanding that the family has an important role in the life of children with disabilities. Family-centered care was developed to facilitate the process of care of children with special needs and their families. Since then, it has been widely used in child health and afterward implemented to the pediatric rehabilitation. The acceptance of family-centered care and the emergence of new theories on motor development have influenced the management of children with cerebral palsy. The interventions have become more family-and function-focused, rather than child-focused. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the theoretical background of the approaches to cerebral palsy, family-centered care as a conceptual framework and its implications for therapy approaches that are used in the management of children with cerebral palsy. Turk J Phys Med Re hab 2012;58:229-35. Key Words: Family-centered approach; cerebral palsy; pediatric rehabilitation Özet Engelli çocukların yaşantısında ailenin önemli bir rolü olduğu gittikçe önem kazanan bir görüştür. Aile odaklı bakım, özel ihtiyaçları olan çocukların bakım sürecini kolaylaştırmak ve ailelerine yardımcı olmak için geliştirilmiştir. Aile odaklı bakım çocuk sağlığı alanında yaygın olarak kullanılmakta olup sonrasında pediatrik rehabilitasyon alanında da uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. Aile odaklı bakım anlayışının kabulü ve motor gelişim konusunda yeni teorilerin ortaya çıkması, serebral palsili çocuklara tedavi yaklaşımını etkilemiş, yapılan uygulamalar çocuk yerine daha çok aile ve fonksiyon merkezli hale gelmiştir. Bu derlemenin amacı serebral palside uygulanan tedavi yaklaşımlarının teorik zeminlerini, bir kavramsal yapı olarak aile odaklı bakım anlayışını ve serebral palsili çocukların tedavisinde kullanılan terapi yaklaşımlarına etkilerini anlamak için genel bir bakış sağlamaktır.
