Evidence for Practice
Supporting early intervention professionals with unique skill sets, backgrounds, and experiences can be challenging. The DEC Recommended Practices guide us in offering professional development that provides varied support, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills to support families in natural and inclusive environments. The DEC Position Statement on Ethical Practice further guides practitioners to continuously engage in individual and collective reflection, to identify and challenge individual biases and systemic inequities. Fostering early interventionists’ reflective capacities is critical to advance equity and inclusion and practice in ways that affirm the cultures and identities of the families we support.
