Great! We’d LOVE to hear how it goes after you use the tool! I agree, we shouldn’t be in the business of adding stress to families’ lives so asking good questions that tap into their feelings and needs is a great way to guide intervention so that it fits into families’ lives.

I haven’t seen this resource before, and it seems like a wonderful tool to use, especially for those families on my caseload with children that are more “medically involved” – oftentimes we focus on the goals and strategies and it’s good sometimes to take a step back and look at the family as a whole and how THEY are feeling about things and their stress level on a daily basis. If we forgot that, the ideas that we are suggesting might be adding more stress to their lives, instead of helping. I will definitly use this and provide feedback once I have.

Not only is the LPP easy for early interventionists to integrate into their practic; the LPP has also been found to be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring satisfaction with parental particpation in life occupations. For those committed to providing evidence-based services, the LPP will help the Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) team focus on family concerns.
I appreciate your comments! I’m excited to hear how others in our profession will use this resource.
