EDUC 573 Family Support using a Strengths-Based Model
Viewing families of young children from a developmental relationship-based framework as well as an ecological framework that includes the social environment and communities, this course prepares candidates to provide individualized support to families with children including those at-risk or who have identified special education needs. Candidates will learn to listen to families' expressed needs and priorities for their child and recognize family strengths as a basis for response in school and home-based programs.
