Abstract

Techniques that both enable family members and assist in accomplishing the goals of the Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) are described in the context of family-centered early intervention services. The techniques to be described are from the field of family therapy and have been adapted by the authors, a family therapist and a speech-language pathologist, for use by early intervention professionals.
