Early Childhood Programs and Families as Partners
The goal of this section is to briefly discuss the role of the early care and education professional when there is a developmental concern that may signal a referral is needed. It is vital that you are familiar with your role, how to engage parents as partners, and what can be done before and after a diagnosis to support families. This section does not provide information on the ‘why’ of referring a child but briefly assists you in becoming familiar with how to speak to families when you have a concern and how you can assist after a child has been diagnosed. Taking the time to build a quality partnership helps to create a foundation that can help families thrive. Be sure to explore the resources in the next section to learn more about speaking with families and referral agency information.
