We know that client perspectives form one third of the Evidence Based Practice triad. But what does it look like to truly engage families in your practice?
This session explains the importance family centered interventions. Effective collaboration with our families maximizes clinical and educational efforts, supports the families’ goals, and incorporates functional outcomes for daily living activities. And as we know, families are experts on their own children and often provide vital information that we may miss in a more standardized setting. Participants walk away energized with evidence-based practices and specific strategies for intervention.
