Individual Family Empowerment

During the Individual Family Empowerment sessions, various aspects are typically covered:

• Goal Setting, the planning phase: Together with the family, specific and measurable goals are established to address the identified behavioural concerns or developmental objectives. These goals are tailored to the individual's unique needs and take into account the family's priorities and preferences.

• Family Input: Family members are encouraged to share their observations, concerns, and goals regarding the individual's behaviour and development. This input is essential for developing a comprehensive understanding of the individual's context and environment.

• Strategic Planning, time to try some new things: Strategies and interventions are collaboratively developed to support the individual in achieving the established goals. These strategies may include behaviour management techniques, environmental modifications, skill-building activities, and support services.

• Role Clarification: The roles and responsibilities of each family member, as well as any professionals or support personnel involved, are clarified to ensure the effective implementation of the agreed-upon strategies.

• Follow-Up Plan: A plan for ongoing communication, monitoring progress, and adjusting strategies as needed is established to promote continuous support and collaboration between the behaviour specialist and the family.

Overall, the Individual Family Empowerment sessions emphasize partnership, empowerment, and inclusivity, recognizing the pivotal role that family members play in supporting the individual's well-being and success. By actively involving the family in the planning and decision-making process, the session aims to promote positive outcomes and enhance the individual's quality of life.
