Professionals are Often Less Family-Centered
Than They Think

Dunst, 2002

What Am I Doing Here?
Leadership and Advocacy
![Page 16: Debra Holloway The Arc of Virginia Director of Training and Technical Assistance A Parent’s Perspective on Family Centered Practices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ca35503460f949638dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Consultant
Professionals adopting a family-centered model are asked to replace the role of decision-maker, agenda-setter, advice-prescriber and expert with the more challenging role of partner, listener, facilitator and consultant (Mikus, Benn and Weatherston, 1994).
![Page 17: Debra Holloway The Arc of Virginia Director of Training and Technical Assistance A Parent’s Perspective on Family Centered Practices.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ca35503460f949638dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Giving complete unbiased information
Do not focus on compliance – shared purpose
Resist giving prescriptive advice
Do not give up when faced with hostility, indifference or rejection
Accepting shades of grey
Pay attention to the only behaviors you can control – your own
