Family Capacity-Building in Early Childhood Intervention: Do Context and Setting Matter?

Researchers have identified a number of factors that are associated with variations in parents’ involvement in early childhood intervention. This study added to that knowledge base by demonstrating that where early intervention services are provided is a factor that influences the level of parent involvement in services. It also suggests that using capacity-building, family-centered practices as part of home-based interventions will likely have value added effects on parenting confidence and competence.
