Early childhood is considered a critical but often vulnerable
period in a child's development where early identification and
intervention can be crucial for improving children's developmental
outcomes. Systems and family-centred perspectives are vital to
support families and build their capacities to lead normalized
lives with improved family quality of life. This book explores the
family-centred practices and systems factors which influence
families' experiences raising children with complex needs. It also

build and support parent and child competence. Conceptual and
