“…Parent involvement is considered an essential component of ECI (Allen & Petr, 1996;Bronfenbrenner, 1975;Jaafarawi, 2017;Moeller et al, 2013;Sandall et al, 2000;Swanson et al, 2011;Zwaigenbaum et al, 2015) and is related to both parent and child positive outcomes (e.g., Ancell et al, 2018;Kahn et al, 2009;Ma et al, 2016, Strauss et al, 2013Vanderveen et al, 2009). Parent involvement is also a constant and a key component across all ECI-recommended practices (Dunst, 2017, Macy et al 2010Nijhuis et al, 2007;Sandall et al, 2000). According to the Division of Early Childhood (2004), their recommended practices emphasize the importance of parental involvement and state that "the purpose of early intervention is to enhance the capacity of the family to facilitate their child's development" (Sandall et al, 2000, p.152).…”
