A proven model for family-centered intervention in natural environments, routines-based intervention is the approach thousands of professionals trust to improve the lives of young children and families. Now there's a definitive guide to this highly respected, theoretically sound model straight from the leading authority on routines-based intervention. Putting the wisdom and strategies from his popular workshops into book form for the first time, Robin McWilliam gives professionals a detailed framework for early intervention that addresses families' individual needs and helps children participate in daily routines. With the step-by-step guidance on each part of the routines-based intervention model, professionals in Part C programs will reach their key goals during visits to homes and child care settings: Fully understand the family environment. Get to know the family by creating a helpful visual depiction of their relationships, supports, and resources. Conduct assessment that's truly family-centered. Uncover the whole families functional needs through an in-depth yet unintimidating interview about daily routines and activities. Write high-quality IFSPs and IEPs. Develop clear, specific, measurable goals that directly address the families priorities and help children develop skills relevant to everyday life. Provide coordinated, streamlined services. Implement the primary-service-provider model, so families receive strong, consistent support from one provider. Empower families to continue intervention between visits. Coach families on weaving intervention into daily routines, so children have the best chance to learn and retain new skills. Support early childhood educators through collaborative consultation, so they have all the tools they need to teach children effectively. To help readers implement the model successfully and ensure fidelity to its principles, this practical how-to guide gives professionals more than 25 photocopiable checklists and other tools. And the review quizzes at the end of each chapter help make this an ideal textbook for preservice professionals as they prepare to work with children and families.

Routines-Based Early Intervention PDF

This book is a good resource overall. As a heads up, it is really more of a text book (which I did not realize when I ordered it). However, for a text book I actually thought it was a pretty easy and pleasant read! It is probably most useful for home-based therapists who want to provide their therapy through the child's existing daily routines and in his/her natural environment. Although it is written for EI professionals, it may also be a good resource for parents who want to carry over their child's therapy when the therapist is not there. It gives some good advice for identifying already naturally occurring learning opportunities, and how to maximize those opportunities. I also appreciate that this book provides quite a few templates and checklists that might be useful.

The author uses the book as a vehicle for promoting his Rountines-Based Interview (RBI ) shamelessly. I understand and have no problem with an author giving a plug to their products now and then. They have created something and are proud of it and it's merit ok. However, given Dr. McWilliam's credentials I expect and prefer a bit more professional restraint and objectivity. I already had bought his book because I believed he had some valuable information to share with me . His choice to go overboard with "selling" his other products negatively colored my view of his credibility and his book. I too believe in "family centeredness" and a "focus on functionality" and chose to buy and read his book to gain more knowledge about an area I am very interested in. I was very disappointed and somewhat angry because of all the professionals books I've read in my career I can't remember ever having a similar reaction. I would have kept these opinions to myself had Amazon not requested my input.
