This week we were talking about the Family System Theory. Which has been really eye opening for me, so the idea is that if you want to be a support in the family you have to keep in mind the entire family. As an interventionist, you often think that you are singularly focusing on the child, but in reality you need the entire family on your side to make any progress.
We discussed elements and relationships in the home that effect the child. Different ways people act, and how families make decisions. You need to understand this to be effective, your family shapes so much of who you are, especially if you add someone with a disability into the mix.
