AB Family-centered  care  is  a  service  delivery  philosophy  and  approach  that  respects  the  rights,  roles,  and  abilities  of  family  members.  Services  are  provided  through  a  collaboration  with  the  family  and  child  to  support  their  goals  and  promote  their  well-being  and  quality  of  life.  Physical  therapists  have  identified  the  need  for  professional  and  postprofessional  education  to  foster  competency  in  collaborating  with  families  (Iversen,  Shimmel,  Ciacera,  &  Prabhakar,  2003).  Although  professionals  value  family-centered  care,  there  can  be  challenges  when  implementing  this  approach  (Bruce  et  al.,  2002;  Espe-Sherwindt,  2008).
