Intervention / Treatment Plan
Intervention and the treatment plan can take many forms and often occurs during the social work interview, especially if the child already confirmed diagnosis. Examples include:
- helping families understand the nature of their child's disability
- reframing the parent's perspective of their child's behavior
- taking action to protect a child who is being neglected or abused by the parents
- providing the family with information about their child's disability, service systems, and entitlements
- information related to transition and future planning (guardianship, special needs trust)
