Imagine that, without warning, you lost your job. Without your paycheck, you’ve gotten more and more behind on paying rent until you’re served with an \"Papereviction notice. You have two more days until you must leave your apartment and you don’t have enough money for a deposit on a new one. You have no family in the area who will take you in. You have two small children, both still in diapers.\u00a0Your youngest son, Bryan, has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and a visual impairment. He needs glasses and has missed two specialists’ appointments because you were afraid that you couldn’t afford the cost of the visits. At the end of a long, stressful day, you put your boys to bed. You know you need to call your service coordinator because you need to get Bryan’s services\u00a0started\u00a0but you just can’t. You have to find a home for your family first.<\/p>\n

The First Priority<\/h2>\n

Sometimes early intervention cannot be a high priority in a family’s life. That can be really hard for us to accept, especially when, as in Bryan’s\u00a0situation, we know that time is of the essence. Before we place judgment on a family about what they are or aren’t doing, we need to step back and consider what really is the\u00a0family’s first priority and most pressing need at the moment. Sometimes, many times, it just isn’t “us” and that is perfectly okay.<\/p>\n

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs<\/h2>\n

Many of us were trained in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs<\/a>. According to Maslow, some needs are more important and must be met before we can attend to others. As Bryan parent, you have unmet basic physiological and\u00a0security needs that take first priority. Until you find stable housing and can meet needs for food, health care and other daily living necessities, you’ll most likely not be able to focus on higher order achievement needs like engaging in early intervention. This doesn’t mean that you don’t\u00a0think that intervention is important; it just means that other, more critical needs must come first. If you really were Bryan’s parent, would you be able to talk about embedding stretches into Bryan’s dressing routine when you were preoccupied with whether or not your children were going to be sleeping in the car in two days?<\/p>\n

Helping Families Take Action to Get\u00a0Their Needs Met<\/h2>\n

Switch gears now and imagine that you are Bryan’s service coordinator or provider. How would you could help his family? Here are a few ideas:<\/p>\n

Avoid the Temptation to Rescue<\/strong> – This can be a perfect situation where service coordinators swoop in, find housing, take groceries and diapers to the home, and end up feeling pretty good about themselves, right? Before being the superhero, it helps to step back and think about this: if we swoop in, the parent might learn to depend on us, rather than learning how to help herself\u00a0with resources that can be accessed after you<\/a> are no longer in her life.<\/p>\n

Problem-Solve Together<\/strong> – Ask good coaching questions and really listen<\/a> to find out what resources the parent has\u00a0already tried to access and what her goals are. We might assume that housing is the first priority, but maybe she already has a lead on that. Imagine how\u00a0frustrating it would be to have someone assuming they know what you need and then offering resources that aren’t helpful. Helping the parent come up with a plan that matches her priorities…much more helpful.<\/p>\n

Know What’s Out There<\/strong> – Keep updated on shelters and other community programs. Contact your community’s homeless education liason<\/a> (PDF, New Window). We can use our networks to find out what’s out there so that we can help families access current resources.<\/p>\n

Put the Resources in the Parent’s Hands<\/strong> – Rather than going back to the office to call shelters or other resources, sit with Bryan’s mother while she make the calls. Provide contact information and help by being a support while she explores her options.<\/p>\n

Keep Intervention Manageable<\/strong> -While the family\u00a0is in transition, it doesn’t automatically mean that they\u00a0won’t want early intervention. It might mean that less frequent visits will work better\u00a0or\u00a0that fewer intervention strategies are more manageable and that’s okay. Tell the parent that it really is okay to\u00a0“do less” while they need to focus elsewhere because trying to squeeze more in is likely to add to their stress, which is not what early intervention should do.<\/p>\n

Remember that Family Stability Comes First<\/strong>\u00a0– Even though our priority might be for Bryan\u00a0to get the services he needs, we have to remember that having a stable family is the most important thing he can ever have. If early intervention can help with that, wonderful. If we need to get out of the way for a while so he can have that, then that’s alright too. Just keeping in touch with the family so they know we’re\u00a0there when they are settled might be all the help that’s needed.<\/p>\n

How does it feel to put yourself in Bryan’s parent’s shoes?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now switch gears…if you were Bryan’s family’s service coordinator or provider, how would you support his mother’s efforts to meet the family’s needs? How would you manage visits? Services? the IFSP?<\/strong><\/p>\n
