Ask open-ended questions (#11)
Invite discussion: “What do you think might work to help us
develop functional outcomes with families?”
Rather than decide direction: “This is what I think we should do…..”
When it’s time for direction, start with what’s going right.“I’ve noticed --- is really working well.“When you ---, Carly really sits still longer.”
