Abstract Details

2003, Specialist in Education, Miami University, Educational Psychology.
Research in the field of early intervention and family-related services has indicated that a discrepancy exists between the stated early intervention philosophy and current early intervention practices. These results suggest that although there is a recognition that family-centered approaches benefit young children and their families, these principles generally have not been infused into existing programs. The current study examined this discrepancy through the investigation of services provided to families though four early intervention programs in southwestern Ohio. Specifically, the study addressed the types of family services received, and the extent to which these services were actually responsive to families’ needs through ratings of program effectiveness. Families participating in this study rated their programs as falling significantly below their needed levels of support. These results also suggested that families who reported more problematic life conditions also reported significantly higher levels of satisfaction with the program services that they received.
