Objectives
- 8.1 - Understand family systems
and methods to involve families in education and service
delivery
- 8.2 - Work effectively with
families, educators, and others in the community to promote and
provide comprehensive services to children and families
Strategy for Ensuring
Competency
Involvement with families is achieved through feedback sessions in
our assessment practica as well as through collaboration with
families on the development of educational and behavioral
intervention plans. During the intervention practica many of our
students oftentimes conduct psychotherapy with both the child and
the parent. In the Center for Psychological Services School
Affiliate Program, our students are provided with several
opportunities to observe children in multiple settings and receive
feedback from multiple sources. By having our students receive part
of their training in the schools, they are able to recognize the
importance of considering the influence of multiple systems on
student development.
