Partnerships in Family-centered Care by Peggy Rosin Pdf

Nearly all young children grow, learn, and develop within a family context, and many teachers, therapists, health providers, and students of these disciplines need to be better prepared to work with families of children who have special needs. For professors and staff development specialists working to sharpen the skills of students and working professionals in family-centered early intervention, a comprehensive, easy-to-use resource is essential. This informative textbook puts practical information on family-centered care, collaborative team building, and coordination of services into the hands of those who need it. Featuring a variety of learning aids and hands-on, field-tested activities, Partnerships in Family-Centered Care: A Guide to Collaborative Early Intervention offers straightforward guidance to enhance students' abilities to ensure the inclusion of families as primary members of the intervention team, provide services that address the priorities of the entire family, implement Part H of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), identify and remove the "overlapping" of service delivery within the human services system, and coordinate the provision of services and supports in ways that take into account the unique resources and concerns of all families.

See how They Grow by Sue Martin,Jennifer Eileen Berke Pdf

See How They Grow: Infants and Toddlers is a book that offers an overview of the growth and development of infants and toddlers from the neonate stage through the age of three. There is special emphasis on the phenomenological approach. This approach requires that the caregiver adopts a perspective that leads to a more human and responsive understanding of each child. This approach is combined with the scientific methodology allowing the caregiver to achieve a level of improved competence, becoming reflective practitioners. There is careful consideration of cultural differences in the book due to the ever present and increasing diversity of the US population. This allows the caregiver to be fully aware of how culture, beliefs, and traditions can influence the ultimate development of a child. The early chapters describe the philosophy of the book and explain various methods of observation. They also provide a baseline of information on growth and development. Further chapters focus on development in 3 month spans, leading to the full examination of how children grow and change rapidly in all domains: physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and language. Developmental variations and alerts are considered at each level, including health and safety issues as well as potential signs of abuse and neglect. The book includes multiple learning tools including key terms and words of wisdom, as well as an online companion. The reader will benefit fully from this thoughtful reference based in the acknowledgment that all children are competent and powerful learners.
