Foundational Pillars of Early Intervention

Description:

Forty years of research, model demonstration projects, and wisdom and experience from providers and families, have led to the identification of five major themes. These themes, referred to throughout this module as “foundational pillars,” help guide and support best practices in the field of early intervention.  These five pillars include: Family Centered Practices, Children's Learning, Natural Environments, Adult Learning, and Quality Teaming.  Upon completion of this module, users will have an understanding of each foundational pillar and gain access to resources to support their work as they partner with families in early intervention.
