Reviews for The Early Intervention Teaming Handbook: The Primary Service Provider Approach

I am excited to dig into the second edition of The Early Intervention Teaming Handbook! My first edition copy is dog-eared and highlighted and WORN! I use it all the time as I support teams in pursuit of fidelity to the Teaming and Primary Service Provider approach. I read and re-read it. I refer to it over and over, citing the excellent case studies and examples of teaming conversations. This new edition of the handbook continues to support coaching during team meetings and in the natural learning environments of the families we serve. For programs who aspire to implement the PSP, teaming and coaching approach, it is a MUST HAVE for every single direct service provider. --Marnie L. Stone, B.A., EIS, IMH-EÂ(R)
