WHY ARE FAMILIES SO IMPORTANT IN THE TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACH?

• The most important people helping your child's growth and development are his/her family. Your primary service provider will also help consult and work with you in carrying out the plan that is developed for your child and family.
• By using a TRANSDISCIPLINARY Approach, the Early Intervention Team coaches families for success. This means that your primary service provider will give you ideas and strategies to use with your child every day - even when (s)he is not there. For example, if your primary service provider works with you and your child on feeding issues one time a week, (s)he will give you ideas about how to incorporate strategies into all the meals you feed your child.
