Description

In this work, early intervention professionals will find a model for supporting those who support families with young children in natural settings - coaching. It shows professionals how to help colleagues acquire new knowledge and skills, and support families and other caregivers as they take an active role in promoting a child's development and participation in home and community activities. Using the five steps of coaching - initiation, observation, action, reflection, and evaluation - readers will learn to support colleagues or caregivers so they can successfully handle situations in a wide variety of settings, from homes and communities to preschools and child care programmes. It covers essential qualities such as observing, listening, and planning.
