More Information
Summary:A Specialized Family Program, through a supervised paraprofessionaly provided time-intensive, home-based service to a family in which both parents were deinstitutionalized disabled individuals. Interventive procedures consisted of systematic educational procedures in basic child care and home management and the case management of many active but uncoordinated agencies. Through this case history, the programmatic needs of disabled parents and their families are discussed, with emphasis on (1) an orientation of family support and advocacy; (2) active, home-based intervention; (3) educational methods based on systematic, behaviorally based instruction; (4) coordination of all workers involved; and (5) client control of decisions related to intervention.
