Dr. Aoife O'Donohue:

The model supports family-centred practice. We work with each family to establish goals. We then have a three-tiered approach to the support we provide those families based on the needs of the child. The universal target and the specific needs of the child are considered. A part of the ISP is about supporting the child, not only in the direct family home, but also in the supports around that, such as in society, in school and in areas with which they engage, and enhancing that experience for that child.
