Parrhesia Regarding Early Intervention Birth to Five: Rethinking the Order of Things
McWilliam, R. A.; García-Grau, Pau; Morales-Murillo, Catalina Patricia; Stevenson, Cami
Young Exceptional Children, v24 n3 p124-137 Sep 2021
"Parrhesia," as shown in this article, is about speaking the truth. William Faulkner (1951) said, "Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world . . . would do this, it would change the earth." In this article, the authors rethink the order of things in early intervention for children birth through 5 years of age and they present a model for the present and future. An episteme is a predominant way of thinking. The authors argue here that early childhood special education (EI/ECSE) has made an epistemic shift over time, but perhaps the change has been unnoticed. They discuss what the new episteme means and the fact that there are practices for this new episteme. They also address the Foucauldian concepts of "the possibility of knowledge," "a firm foundation," what has changed in the past "epoch," the time for "parrhesia" (speaking the truth), and guiding principles to shape how families can be supported and children can be educated in this new episteme.
