| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although it is common knowledge that family-centered care is effective for both children and families, service providers in Japan have not adopted this approach because there is no existing concept of family outcomes. Evaluating outcomes for families of children with disabilities can be a way of monitoring early intervention programs. For the first time in Japan, we developed and validated the Japanese version of the Family Outcomes Survey- Revised (the FOS-J). We also clarified that more than 60% of early interventioninstitutions did not assess effects of their program on children with disabilities and more than 80% did not assess them on their families.The FOS-J could be a possible tool to evaluate and compare early intervention programs among institutions that provide these programs in Japan.
