Abstract

Professional conceptualization of a relatively new role, entitled family-centered nurse coordinator-early childhood intervention by the author, as developed and implemented by the parent-child CNS is presented in this article. Three essential perspectives are discussed: (1) clarification of the role, (2) major assumptions underlying the role, and (3) use of the nursing process as a framework for successful role implementation.
