Family intervention is based on creating a space for reflection that allows communication and dialogue within the family to resume. A place to expose difficulties, understand them, and find solutions to conflicts.
Today’s society is the result of the great changes that have been taking place since the end of the last century and with it, the family as an institution is one of the sectors of the community that has had to endure the most changes.
The authority of the mother and the father is no longer based on that image that the patriarchy founded, the roles have changed. The technologies and knowledge provided by Internet pages seem to have all the answers to the problems that occur within the new families.
Chaos and excess information often lead mothers and fathers to ask for everything they think they cannot solve.
The family therapeutic intervention aims to resume the possibility of reflection, creates a space where you can think, and be able to rescue that knowledge that is believed to be lost. A time to understand, to see, and see each other and to be able to start a new type of intra-family communication
Benefits
Family therapy makes it possible to discover communication difficulties within families, while at the same time, it resumes listening among its members, which, in many cases, allows them to understand the individual suffering that in turn generates group malaise.
In this way, it is achieved that those who need help can ask for it, or that they can understand what are the paths that allow accompanying those who need individual therapy.
The space for dialogue that is created calms down, and in this way despair and the possibility of engendering violence disappear, reflective thinking takes the lead, and conflict resolution is no longer based on meaningless actions that generate more discomfort.
The Professional Interventionist will guide in such a way that the origin of the difficulties can be understood and will accompany them in the search for solutions that in each case will be the most appropriate for each type of family functioning.
Intervention Services
Early Intervention Services
Early Intervention evaluates children from birth through 2 years of age for developmental delays. If eligible for services, the Early Intervention program provides speech, occupational, and physical therapy, nutrition, social work, and other services as appropriate.
- Certain early intervention services are free in all states.
- You may be charged on a sliding scale based on your income, or through insurance for early intervention services that are not free.
- You cannot be denied these services if you cannot pay for them.
Free Early Intervention Services
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act IDEA requires that families receive these services at no cost:
Coordination of activities to identify children ( Child Find ) who may need early intervention services
A simple assessment to determine if a full assessment is necessary
Comprehensive developmental assessment to determine if children need early intervention services
Ongoing assessments to determine if services should continue
A family assessment to determine if your family needs services
Creation and review of the Individualized Family Service Plan ( IFSP ), if your child is determined to be eligible for services
Coordination of services to help you and your child during the early intervention program
Transition services to help your child move from one service to another, or from early intervention services to preschool
Early intervention services do not pay for medical or health care that is routinely recommended to all children. In other words, early intervention services do not cover the costs of services such as:
- immunizations
- Well-baby visits
- hospitalizations
- prescriptions
- Devices to treat a medical condition
If you’re still not sure which early intervention services are free and which are not, don’t worry, you have a service coordinator for that. That person will give you the necessary information about the cost of any early intervention services.
