From a parents point of view, what are most important qualities and skills for early intervention professionals to have?
What providers and teachers did that was helpful to me as a parent of an infant or toddler with special needs. • Compiled by the Early On® Center for Higher Education • They came into my home knowing that I was probably nervous, especially in the beginning. They seemed to know that it wasnt easy for me to think that my child had special needs and might need such a program as Early On®. They went slow and were very understanding about my feelings. They were caring and friendly and offered emotional support. • They let me know about many kinds of interventions, tools, supports, and things that I could learn and do as a parent. They connected me to support groups and other parents. They let me know that I could get through this early phase.that I was not alone. • They saw our child in a positive light. They talked about what she could do, what she liked to do.they saw her as a child, not as a label. They reminded us that even if she wasnt meeting all the developmental milestones set forth
