Data Sheet 1_Proposal for a new conceptual framework to guide early intervention professionals in a transcultural context.pdf

BackgroundParental engagement in early intervention programs for children with neurodevelopmental conditions is complex, particularly within transcultural contexts. This study examines current models of parental engagement to identify key factors that support inclusive approaches and to develop a flexible framework that addresses the realities of immigrant families raising children with neurodevelopmental conditions in transcultural settings.
MethodsA critical nonsystematic review was conducted to integrate parental engagement models across multiple fields, aiming to develop a theoretical tool to guide a doctoral research project.
ResultsWe found that current models often ignore transcultural realities and power dynamics. Therefore, we propose the Child–Parent-Professional Partnership framework, which provides a holistic ecological approach sensitive to the realities of immigrant parents.
LimitationsThe findings presented are inherently tentative and serve as a foundational basis for the empirical research design subsequently undertaken by the first author. Accordingly, the present article is intended to serve as an initial conceptual exploration, rather than a definitive analysis, and further empirical investigation is necessary to validate these primary insights and extend their scope.
ConclusionThe proposed framework provides a comprehensive view of the influences affecting parental engagement in transcultural contexts, emphasizing the importance of an anti-oppressive approach to foster partnership that are attuned to the realities of immigrant parents. The originality of this framework lies in its integration of theoretical and practical approaches, offering both a conceptual lens to understand complex dynamics and a foundation for implementing authentic partnerships.

背景：神经发育障碍（neurodevelopmental conditions）儿童早期干预项目中的家长参与工作极为复杂，在跨文化情境（transcultural contexts）中尤甚。本研究旨在梳理当前家长参与的各类模型，识别支撑包容性干预的关键因素，并构建一套灵活框架，以应对跨文化环境中移民家庭养育神经发育障碍儿童的现实困境。
方法：本研究采用批判性非系统综述（critical nonsystematic review）方法，整合多领域的家长参与模型，旨在开发一套理论工具，用于指导一项博士研究项目。
结果：研究发现，现有模型往往忽视跨文化现实与权力动态（power dynamics）。据此，我们提出儿童-家长-专业人员伙伴关系框架（Child–Parent-Professional Partnership framework），该框架采用整体生态视角，能够贴合移民家长的实际处境。
局限性：本研究提出的发现本质上具有试探性，仅作为第一作者后续开展的实证研究设计（empirical research design）的基础依据。因此，本文仅作为初始概念探索而非确定性分析，需开展进一步实证研究以验证这些初步见解并拓展其适用范围。
结论：本研究提出的框架全面梳理了跨文化情境中影响家长参与的各类因素，强调采用反压迫视角（anti-oppressive approach）构建贴合移民家长现实的伙伴关系的重要性。该框架的创新性在于整合了理论与实践路径，既为理解复杂互动关系提供了概念视角（conceptual lens），也为构建真实有效的伙伴关系奠定了基础。
