Routines-Based Early Intervention - Helena/Billings - May 21 / May 23, 2012 - 0 views

  •  
    Click here to download the full flyer for this event (PDF) What:
    Children deserve the most effective intervention possible, provided in the most relevant places, at the most relevant times, by the most relevant people. In the Routines-Based approach, professionals work with the child's natural caregivers, who are generally parents and child care providers or teachers. Parents and other caregivers learn to make the most out of the learning opportunities that occur throughout the day, every day. This results in much more effective and meaningful intervention than, for example, weekly sessions in a therapy room. The child's best "interventionists" are those adults who are with the child throughout the day. Participants will learn the importance of: Understanding the family ecology and the usefulness of the ecomap Family-centered, functional assessment and the usefulness of the Routines-Based Interview Integrating services and the usefulness of the primary service provider Support-based home visits and the usefulness of family consultation Collaborative consultation to child care and the usefulness of consultation individualized within routines When/Where:
