p1.33 SNIPI Family-Centered Approach: A Way Forward Presenting Author: Coordinating Committee - SNIPI (Portugal) Affiliation: National System of Early Childhood Intervention Co-Author: SNIPI-GAT
The National System of Early Childhood Intervention in Portugal (SNIPI) is an organized structure, which aims to intervene with eligible children up to 6 years old and their families. Through the coordinated action of the Labor, Solidarity and Social Security’s Ministry, the Education, Science and Innovation’s Ministry and the Health’s Ministry, SNIPI is based on a network model, with a systemic, collaborative approach and with a transdisciplinary team that acts on child's different contexts according to their normal development. This poster aims to reflect the importance of strengthening family-centered practices, highlighting the need to promote strategies that guarantee a more inclusive, equitable and humanized system. To consolidate this approach, we continue to invest in SNIPI professional’s’ development to raise awareness among communities and enhance and strength of formal and informal networks in the development of public policies. This is the PATH we will continue to follow. p1.34 Speech-Language Pathologists in a Clinical Context: Reality and Challenges to Implementing a Family-Centered Approach Presenting Author: Ana Leonor Gomes (Portugal) Affiliation: Cooperative of Psychosocial Intervention (Cooperativa de Intervenção Psicosocial), CRL (ACIP Saúde) Co-Authors: Marta Joana Pinto There has been an increase in the use of family-centered practices by speech- language pathologists in clinical contexts. However, the results also demonstrate that there is still much to be done to increase family involvement in the support provided. Thus, our need arose to better understand the reality of using a family-centered approach by speech-language pathologists in a clinical context. With this qualitative-descriptive analysis study, speech-language pathologists were interviewed to understand the reality of these practices. The data resulting from the research carried out will be disclosed, particularly regarding the presence, or not, of family members in a therapeutic session and the strategies used by professionals to promote the engagement of family members.
p1.35 Using a Culturally-Sustaining, Family-Centered Approach in Parent-Implemented Interventions Presenting Author: Shawna Harbin (USA) Affiliation: Purdue University Co-Author: Angel Fettig
Parent-implemented intervention (PII) is an evidence-based practice in EI that provides parents opportunities to learn new strategies to support their child’s development. However, implementing PII from a professional-driven approach without careful attention to the cultural context of the family and practitioner can negatively impact its effectiveness. We describe a framework for PII that aims to promote positive child and family outcomes by guiding practitioners in using a family- centered, culturally sustaining approach to parent-practitioner collaboration. Specifically, we describe the need for practitioners to engage in reflection and critical dialogue to sustain the daily practices of young children and families they work with and considerations in building partnerships in EI. We also discuss the unique contributions families and practitioners bring to PII, their opportunities for growth, and how their partnership can directly and indirectly have a positive impact on young children, their families, and the communities that support them.

Affiliation: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Co-Authors: Michaelene Ostrosky, Rosa Milagros Santos
Many families and providers face unique situations when they work together to support children with disabilities. This poster will highlight strategies for supporting young children, birth to eight, with disabilities who are a part of military families, developing collaborative relationships with military families of children with disabilities and making ethical decisions when working with children and families. We will share family voices through quotes and resources support EI families, with a particular focus on military families.
