In this episode, our host Simone Dudley talks with Cassie (Emily’s mum) about her experience with early supports and pioneering the NDIS. Cassie talks about the need for professionals to recognise the strengths of children and work from these when developing goals with the family.
Goals for Cassie and her family needed to reflect the values they held strong for Emily. These included having the same opportunities and experiences that Emily’s siblings had, and being and belonging in her everyday life and community.
These align so well with the principles of family-centred and strengths-based practice, and inclusive approaches as outlined in the National Early Childhood Intervention Best Practice Guidelines. Cassie provides great insights for families who are starting their journey and for professionals to learn from.
