“…Early intervention for DHH young children has a strong focus on promoting language skills within the context of their families (Moeller et al, 2013). The involvement of family in early intervention is facilitated through family-centered practice (FCP), a model which builds on families' strengths while taking into account different lifestyles, cultures and environments (Lietz & Geiger, 2017). FCP is a key guiding principle in the delivery of early intervention services for children with a range of disabilities and their families (Ziviani, Darlington, Feeney, Rodger, & Watter, 2013).…”

This cross-sectional quantitative study investigated parents’ perceptions of the quality of family-centered practice in an early intervention service for young children who are deaf or hard of hearing through the use of the Measures of Processes of Care (MPOC-56). The results indicated that the majority of families accessing the service were satisfied with the family-centered practices they were receiving. Consistent with previous studies in different disability settings, families were least satisfied with the provision of general information regarding the child’s disability, identifying further access to unbiased information and resources is needed. This highlighted a tension in the role of organizations operating within individualized funding models in regard to who is responsible for the dissemination of reliable and evidence-based general information. As the MPOC-56 has not been used in deaf or hard of hearing populations previously, this study found it was an appropriate measure for caregiver perceptions of family-centered practice within this population.

“…The intent was to widen the circle of supports and protections around family members, based on their cultural traditions (Pennell & Anderson, 2005). FGC was in keeping with family-centered practice in child welfare: This practice deemphasized rescuing children from their parents and emphasized families as partners in decision-making and including families’ cultural perspectives into plans (Lietz & Geiger, 2017). 1…”

Now is the time to rethink reliance on legal intervention to end intimate partner violence (IPV). Arrest, incarceration, and family separation have fallen disproportionately on people who are Black or Brown, impoverished, or immigrant, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ). Restorative approaches bring together the persons harmed, persons causing harm, their family or community networks, or combinations of these stakeholders. Based on a U.S. national study, this article examines: What influences programs to adopt a restorative approach to ending IPV? How do programs safeguard their original vision for social change? What principles guide the programs in carrying out their work in safe and productive ways?

“…Family-centered early intervention (FCEI) for children with hearing loss (HL) aims at supporting caregivers to promote their children's language development. FCEI is a family-professional partnership which builds on family strengths while taking different lifestyles, cultures and environments into account [1,2]. FCEI for children with hearing loss acknowledges that caregivers have a vital role in promoting their child's development and well-being.…”

Background: Family-centered early intervention (FCEI) for children with hearing loss (HL) supports caregivers to promote their children’s language development. To provide FCEI services that are relevant and accessible to meet diverse needs, insight into the characteristics of children with HL is important. In the current study, various characteristics of children with HL and intervention-related factors are examined in relation to spoken language outcomes. Methods: Child and family characteristics, language outcomes and data on intervention were extracted from FCEI records for 83 children. Family involvement ratings were obtained from EI providers. Relations between characteristics, intervention, family involvement and language outcomes were analyzed and predictors for children’s language outcomes were investigated. Results: The characteristics of children with HL in FCEI are very diverse. Family involvement and the occurrence of additional disabilities were predictive for children’s receptive and expressive language abilities; the start of FCEI was not. Maternal education was predictive for expressive language outcomes only. Conclusions: The current study showed the diversity in characteristics of children with HL and their families in the degree of HL, etiology, cultural background, home language, family involvement and additional disabilities. We conclude that ’one size does not fit all’, and FCEI programs should acknowledge the unique strengths and challenges of every individual family.
