When working with students from birth to age 8, the importance of family involvement in the early intervention process cannot be overstated. Research strongly

When working with students from birth to age 8, the importance of family involvement in the early intervention process cannot be overstated. Research strongly supports collaboration between teachers and families and indicates that students directly benefit from the collaboration between school and home. Regardless of extenuating circumstances, making every effort to form strong working partnerships with families promotes the development of child-centered goals and increases the likelihood that students will achieve the established goals.

Using the topic Resources and your own research, create a family-friendly resource that explains the research-based benefits of family involvement in early intervention and implementing intervention strategies. The resource should include the following:

• A summary paragraph that explains to families why it is important to be involved in the early intervention process and in the implementation of intervention strategies.
• List of 10 strategies that families can use to be actively involved in the early intervention process and the implementation of intervention strategies. Each should include a 2-3 sentence summary of the intervention strategy and a link to a supporting resource related to the strategy.
• List of at least three scholarly resources that illustrate the importance of family involvement. Each should include a 2-3 sentence summary of the article and a link to the resource.
