Family: Knowing Families, Tailoring Practices, Building Capacity. DEC Recommended Practices Monograph Series No. 3

The DEC Recommended Practices provide guidance to families and professionals about the most effective ways to improve learning outcomes and promote development of young children, birth through age 5, who have, or are at-risk for, developmental delays or disabilities. "Family: Knowing Families, Tailoring Practices, Building Capacity" is the third edition of the DEC Recommended Practices Monograph Series, and it offers professionals and families multiple ways to implement the family practices across the settings in which children grow and learn. The editors, Carol Trivette and Bonnie Keilty, have gathered an outstanding collection of articles that provide guidance to the EI/ECSE field as they illustrate particular ways to implement the Family Recommended Practices with fidelity and flexibility for each family. The monograph is a unique contribution to the field with articles that include authentic family voices as primary or equal contribution. In addition to the strong family voices within the articles, the work includes the perspectives of three families on the Family Recommended Practices. We are sure you will find this an invaluable resource for your work.
