Interventions for young children with disabilities are more effective when the adults involved form collaborative partnerships. That's why consultation -- a systematic process to help educators, parents, and early childhood professionals work together to address concerns and identify goals -- is so important. This practical handbook equips early childhood professionals with the skills needed to function as an effective consultant to educators and caregivers of children from birth through age 5. A step-by-step, 8-stage model shows how to initiate contact with a consultee and establish open, respectful communication; build rapport while gathering crucial information about the consultee; work with the consultee to assess concerns and needs; set goals; select appropriate strategies; prepare the consultee to implement the strategies; evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies and the consultation itself; and hold a summary conference to review outcomes and plan the next steps. This guide will help any early childhood professional serving as a consultant -- and anyone in the role of consultee -- form strong, respectful partnerships that lead to better child and family outcomes.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Buysse is Senior Scientist at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In addition to directing a program of research on Recognition & Response, a model of response to intervention for prekindergarten, her research interests include innovations in professional development; models such as consultation, coaching, mentoring, and communities of practice that support professional development and program improvement; and educational practices and interventions that address the unique needs of diverse learners--those who have disabilities, who have learning difficulties, or who are dual language learners. Patricia W. Wesley, M.Ed., is Senior Scientist at the FPG Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she is also Clinical Instructor in the School of Education. Following a decade as the director of an inclusive preschool, in 1990 she became the director of Partnerships for Inclusion, a statewide training and consultation project supporting the inclusion of children with disabilities and their families in all aspects of community life. In this role, she has developed, implemented, evaluated, and published an on-site model of consultation to enhance quality in early childhood programs. She also has developed several community approaches for building broad-based acceptance of people with disabilities. In addition to early childhood inclusion and consultation, Ms. Wesley's interests include parent leadership and communities of practice in early childhood education. She is a frequent guest reviewer for several professional journals and a popular keynote speaker on the state and national lecture circuit. Samuel L.
