A child\u2019s brain grows and evolves rapidly with each experience he or she has throughout the\u00a0day, especially in early childhood. These experiences form stepping-stones to further\u00a0development. Early identification of differences in development and early intervention is\u00a0important for the child\u2019s development.\u00a0 Each family is unique and caregivers know their child\u00a0the best and so while planning interventions, better outcomes are achieved if the family and\u00a0therapists work together.<\/p>\n
Opening the doors is a campaign that encourages professionals to invite parents and\u00a0caregivers of children to be present in the therapy rooms during sessions. This may\u00a0form the first step to building positive partnerships with families.<\/p>\n
Caregivers often give doctors\/therapists a peek into what happens at home and their inputs\u00a0about the child\u2019s likes, dislikes, behaviours etc, help in making therapy interventions more\u00a0meaningful. Some parents learn, apply and intuitively tweak the intervention strategies\u00a0according to their child\u2019s needs.\u00a0 Along with the child, therapists\/doctors form new\u00a0connections with families over time.\u00a0 Opening the door may lead to new conversations and\u00a0opportunities to address the parents\u2019 anxieties and concerns about the future.<\/p>\n

Working in partnership with therapists is a family\u2019s right and can lead to better\u00a0outcomes.<\/p>\n To know more about how the participation in a child’s therapy session is beneficial for parents, watch this video.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Open-Open-English-Professional-Poster-300x160\"](\"https:\/\/d3n2v804uranu1.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Open-Open-English-Professional-Poster-300x160.webp\")
