Abstract
The assessment of family strengths and needs for Individual Family Service Plan development has engendered considerable anxiety among early intervention practitioners. In the search for appropriate family assessment instruments and models, interventionists are faced with a confusing array of resources, materials, and procedural recommendations. This article expresses concern with prevailing family assessment models that suggest comprehensive assessment across all areas of family functioning. Issues of instrument development and use, the types and nature of early intervention services provided, and the role of interventionists are discussed in light of feedback from practitioners.
