Family-centred service: Moving ideas into practice
This study is designed to develop and evaluate educational materials about family-centred service. These materials will contain information about family-centred service and how to implement it. They will be written for families, children and youth with special needs, service providers, and decision makers at the administrative and legislative levels. It is expected that the information provided will apply to a broad range of systems including (but not limited to) health care, education, recreation and social services.
