Description
Summary:Findings from 2 studies investigating sources of variations in perceived control appraisals of parents involved in a family-centered early intervention/family support program are described. Results indicated that parent, family, and child characteristics were not related to differences in control appraisals. Practitioner help-giving styles and, to a lesser extent, staff disciplines were the only factors associated with the degree to which participants indicated they had control over needed services, resources, and supports. Implications for improving family-centered practices are described.
