- Description
- In order to enable families, it is necessary for practitioners to embrace a logical and comprehensive intervention style that reflects awareness and respect for the complex manner in which family systems interact and influence child development. Influences exist that surround each individual within the family system. This is an important concept to consider because A V practitioners cannot understand the child with hearing loss in isolation of influencing factors. It is imperative to think systemically across the dynamic relationships within which the family operates. This is because developmental processes and outcomes for every child with hearing loss are a combined function of characteristics of the environment and of the developing individual. This chapter is a summary of Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory as the foundation and a frame of reference on which families can become enabled. This circle of influence notion is explained throughout this chapter and core elements of the many levels of family involvement are viewed from within this circle of influence perspective.
