Abstract

Centrality of relationships (the integration of relationship-based concepts at the program, family, and child levels) is proposed as an organizing principle for the field of early intervention with children having disabilities. The shift from developmental deficit-based models to relationship-based organizing principles requires reformulating intervention approaches and program models. This perspective stresses commonalities across early intervention disciplines. (Author/DB)
