Parents have the most investment in their child with special needs. "Family Centered support services also involves trusting the ability of parents and other family members to develop new strengths and learn new skills. How much individual families learn will vary greatly according to their attitudes, abilities and circumstances, but they are all capable of learning something. They are much more likely to do so if the professional they are dealing with believe that they can.
The well-being and development of children depend upon the well-being of all other family members and of the family as a whole. This is important because support services drop away as the child gets older and the family and child need to become become more self-reliant." -Tim Moore
