This book provides the link between research and practice to guide readers in understanding key principles of early development in infants and toddlers with disabilities. Early Intervention Services for Infants, Toddlers, and Their Families emphasizes that service providers need to have a firm foundation in typical child development before being able to fully understand and develop programs for children with unique needs. This book also promotes the acknowledgement of family members as partners in all aspects of service delivery and supports the role of service providers as advocates for both children and their families.
