The Early Intervention in Natural Environments (EINE) Model
This model is all about giving the power for early intervention back to the families. As an early interventionist this means taking a more supportive approach towards the family. There are 5 components to this model.
1) Understanding the family ecology
2) Functional intervention planning (Routine Based Interview)
3) Integrated services
4) Effective home visits
5) Collaborative consultation to child care
If used properly these 5 components will allow the early intervention to be more effective and allows the primary service provider (PSP) and the family to have a stronger relationship. There are a few key principles that must be remembered throughout the process and while working with the families. …show more content…
Practice comes after mastery and that is a huge shift in this model.
• Practice happens after a child has acquired the skill and is then used to make the skill more fluent and to maintain it.
• Children are learning throughout the day, so as a PSP you need to make the most of your shortly timed visit.
“Therapy and instruction are not golf lessons”
• Children will not benefit from mass trialed events. Children cannot take transfer their skills and understanding from a decontextualized setting and apply it to everyday life or even the next visit.
“Regular Caregivers (parents, teachers) need to own the goals”
• This goal is for the ones providing the opportunities to the children between the specialist visits. Caregivers are less likely to target behaviors if they are not interested in them. If they are expected to carry out interventions that do not fit into their routines, they are not likely to carry it
