Healthcare Professional Module. Teams in Early Intervention.
McClain, Cate; Handmaker, Stan
Project TIE (Teams in Early Intervention) was conceptualized to meet the need for: (1) involvement of formerly "ancillary" service professionals in early intervention for children with disabilities, (2) high quality family-centered services, and (3) training in the team approach. The project provides training to four groups that might constitute an early intervention team--speech/language pathologists, motor therapists, health care professionals, and family members. The goal of this training module is to have team members understand how health care professionals approach developmental concerns. The module presents reasons for consulting with health care professionals, a framework for effective communication, medical risk factors for developmental problems, the medical work-up of a child with developmental delay, growth parameters, what other team members want from health care professionals, and application of the health care professional's expertise to the Performance Competence Model (which determines how children interact with their environment). The module includes an outline of content in each of these areas and copies of 16 overheads and handouts. (JDD)
