(1993). Family Module. Teams in Early Intervention. 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. This training module emphasizes the importance of the family as the basis in delivering early intervention services. The first section, "Pathways to Teaming," outlines reasons for consulting with families; presents a framework for effective communication; emphasizes the importance of viewing the child from a holistic perspective and taking time to build a relationship between family and professional; and offers family-centered principles for speech/language pathologists, occupational/physical therapists, and health care professionals. The second section, "A Framework for Early Intervention," points out the need to determine what other team members want from families and offers a mechanism whereby family expertise can be applied to the Performance Competence Model to determine how children interact with their environment. Five handouts and overheads are appended. [More] Descriptors: Ancillary School Services, Disabilities, Early Childhood Education, Early Intervention

(1993). Discovering Team Culture. Teams in Early Intervention. Few interdisciplinary early intervention teams are aware that they have created a team culture–a set of norms of behavior, values, and beliefs. This manual assists team members in discovering their team culture so they understand how it affects their performance and the quality of services they provide, and so they can decide if they would like to modify team process and performance. The manual examines what team culture is, how team culture affects assessment and intervention, frameworks for exploring team culture, observational and interviewing procedures to use along with self-evaluation procedures to discover a team's culture, characteristics of effective teams, and strategies for modifying team culture. The manual is a training module of Project TIE (Teams in Early Intervention), which was conceptualized to meet the need for: (1) involvement of formerly "ancillary" service professionals in providing early intervention to 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. Appendices list instruments for team assessment, explore characteristics of gender communications, discuss issues of prejudice and discrimination, offer a guide to ethnographic interviewing, and describe nominal group techniques.

(1993). Introduction: Getting Started. Teams in Early Intervention. 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 training is designed to enable participants to determine what supports and interferes with children's performance, develop shared perspectives in viewing children's performance, apply a common conceptual framework for early intervention, explore how each profession addresses early intervention team practices, know what other team members expect from them, and improve information sharing among team members. This introductory training module contains a paper by Carol Westby titled "Developing Cultural Competence: Working with Culturally/Linguistically Diverse Families." The paper examines controversial issues in cultural diversity, cultural variations in values and beliefs, cultural differences affecting child development, and cultural influences on interviewing. Another paper, "The Performance Competence Model: A Narrative Discussion" by Meave Stevens Dominguez, promotes a holistic view of the child within the context of the child's personal characteristics, preferences, environments, family, and culture. Appendices contain a sample training agenda and cards for use in a performance competence game. (Contains approximately 120 references.)
