Some of the most important qualities of the personnel who deliver earl
y intervention services appear to be those related to their orientatio
ns toward families and the interdisciplinary process. Fostering these
qualities at a preservice level may present unique challenges to train
ing programs. The purpose of this paper is to describe a practicum mod
el that directly addresses these training issues by using a written ph
ilosophy as a framework for self-reflection by students.
