Register for the webinar on Wednesday, February 26 at 3:000 - 4:30 pm ET.
Family-centered practice is widely recognized as the best approach in building the capacity of families of young children with developmental delays or disabilities. However, like person-centered supports, challenges with implementation are recognized. Using co-design and peer work the webinar presenters have addressed this gap through the creation of novel approaches to family-centered planning, practices, and supports to build family participation.
The National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS) presents a webinar: "Building Capacity Using Family-Centered Approaches to Promote the Best Life for Young Children with Disabilities: An Innovative Family-to-Family Program" on February 26.
Participants in this webinar will learn about:
- The global impact of this award-winning program;
- Evidence- and research-informed approaches;
- What families think about these new approaches; and
- How other early intervention service providers have reflected on their family-centered practices and the steps they have taken to make improvements.
All NCAPPS webinars are recorded and archived at ncapps.acl.gov.
