Essential Allies: Families as Advisors PS 04A

Throughout the country, families and professionals are working together in new ways. While there is growing consensus that a collaborative approach humanizes the service delivery system, improves outcomes for children, and results in greater satisfaction for both providers and families, the partnership paradigm is radically different from the client/provider relationship in which most professionals were schooled. Providers, for the most part, have not had opportunities to learn to work with families in these new ways. For families as well, the development of effective, collegial relationships with professionals requires new attitudes and skills. This publication was developed to help bridge the gap between providers' past training and experience and these new expectations of collaboration and partnership with families.
