Abstract

This chapter aims to explore evidence-based family engagement and/or empowerment practices during early intervention/early childhood special education (EI/ECSE) in three international settings: Singapore, Taiwan, and Turkey. In these countries, the EI/ECSE program is a system of coordinated services that supports the referral, evaluation, and services for children with disabilities ages birth to 6 and their families. Family engagement is an umbrella term with key components that include (a) equal partnership; (b) individualized intervention for children and families; (c) culturally, linguistically, socially, and economically responsive practices; (d) trained service providers; and (e) supportive program administrators. Research studies have shown that family engagement in EI/ECSE yields better outcomes for families and their children. This study will provide a systematic review of family engagement practices in EI/ECSE system in the above countries.
