Special Issue on Early Intervention

This special issue highlights current practice and research in occupational therapy with our youngest clients, from birth to 3 years of age, and their families in early intervention (EI). Guest editor Dr. Beth Elenko proposes we integrate AOTA’s core competencies in practice and research for young children and their families in EI. This special issue includes two “They Said” features. The first is Drs. Rush and Sheldon, pioneers in promoting effective coaching strategies, who share their experiences in the evolution of coaching and insights on family focused practices. The second is a panel of interprofessional educators in an academic partnership with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Bureau of Early Intervention in the Division of Family and Child Health, who shared their collaborative experiences discussing the impact of interprofessional education in EI to outline the critical importance to incorporate education in EI practice for future providers. This issue presents several applied research articles that help guide clinical practice in EI.
