Parent Responsibilities
Welcome to the Cause and Effect Early Intervention Program.
We operate from a family-centered model and believe that the
treatment process encompasses the sharing and building of trust
among team members. Parents are an integral part of the Cause
and Effect team as you are most familiar with your child’s ways.
As we provide the specific information and strategies for your
child’s development, you are the one who will help facilitate
these changes. Being involved can assist you in understanding
the nature and purpose of our interventions and allows you to
see the direct change and progress your child is making. We
are all partners in this process.
Communication and Rapport:
- Clear and open communication is essential for this
partnership to work.
- Please contact the appropriate therapist with questions
or concerns regarding any aspects of your child's program.
If you are unsure who to ask, contact your coordinator.
- You will be working closely with the child
development facilitator. It is most important that you both work toward
building a rapport in order to ensure treatment goes
smoothly. If you have questions or concerns, please
contact your coordinator.
Binders:
A communication binder will act as a daily source of information
for all team members. Parents are expected to:
- Review list of binder contents and organization.
- Read and initial all therapist and child
development facilitator notes on a daily basis.
- Familiarize yourself
with the treatment checklist and note changes.
All documentation must remain in the binder.
Treatment Program:
- A Parent/Caregiver should be present in the home
with the assistant and/or therapist at all times.
- A Parent/Caregiver is solely responsible for all
non-treatment children during treatment sessions.
- A quiet spacious area is necessary for treatment
in the home and should be available to therapists and
assistants.
- The family is encouraged to participate in treatment
sessions that are scheduled through mutual agreement.
- Treatment sessions will consist of observation,
direct therapy, treatment demonstration, parent consultation,
assistant consultation and documentation.
**Parents are expected to purchase materials recommended by
the therapists such as: certain games or toys, books, crayons,
scissors, paper, etc.
Scheduling:
- The Parent is to notify the appropriate therapist/assistant
as soon as possible of any change for any reason in
the scheduled treatment time, in order to avoid treatment
charges.
- Check calendar to keep updated on all appointment
times.
- Make sure calendars reflect any vacations, medical
visits, etc.
- When your child is sick, do not send him/her to
school or expect him/her to attend therapist or assistant
sessions.
Meetings:
- As a member of the team, at least one parent is
expected to attend their child's Individual Program
Plan meeting.
- Inservices will be provided throughout the year
on various subjects pertaining to child development
and treatment disorders. You are encouraged to attend.
All in-services will be marked in red in the Communication
Binder.
Assistant Time Sheets and Transportation Sheets:
- The Parent is responsible for reviewing the documents,
verifying the hours and kilometers and signing the document.
