Empowerment means knowing what you want, having the motivation to seek it out, and using your knowledge and skills to get what you want. Collaboration means sharing resources and creating a context that empowers families and professionals alike. The book presents comprehensive, data-based, and conceptually consistent approaches for families and professionals to collaborate for empowerment.
