Early Intervention Technical Assistance

High-quality Early Intervention services begin by providing professionals working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with up to date, evidence-based practices that are developmentally appropriate, engage families and empower partnerships for learning across settings.  In this episode of Leading from the Floor, your hosts provide you with strategies, tools, and resources to ensure that your staff, partners, families and providers are equipped to succeed.  We will also hear from a parent leader whose son was diagnosed with a moderate hearing loss and her experiences with both P3D and her mentorship journey.  By taking the concept of professional development and coupling it with adult learning principles, you can build a solid foundation and empower the adults in each child’s life.

The building of successful teams does not always mean that the road traveled will lead to universal agreement every step of the way. In this episode of Leading from the Floor, your hosts provide you with the ways in which dispute resolution techniques can be used to maintain a positive and child/family centered working relationship. We will also hear from Nicole McCarthy, the parent of a child receiving speech services in Early Intervention, who will tell us more about how her team partnered effectively and led to the best results for her child and family.

In the same manner that a focus on communication supports the development of family partnerships, it is also a critical component in building strong organizational teams. This coupled with trust, accountability, resilience, and empathy can turn the dial in moving from a manager to a leader, and in turn, supports leaders in successful problem solving with staff and families.
