Family Guided Routines Based Intervention, or FGRBI, is an approach to early intervention services and supports that integrates family-centered practice, adult learning, coaching, and feedback with evidence-based intervention on functional and meaningful outcomes in everyday routines and activities. The term family guided is used to highlight the important role of the family as the decision-maker and guide for their children’s development and learning within early intervention. FGRBI facilitates collaboration by involving caregivers in the assessment and intervention process as partners with their IFSP team members as they identify their priorities and plans for their child, their preferred routines and activities, and when, where, and how often to embed intervention strategies as they occur throughout the day. FGRBI has been applied and evaluated within home-based and center-based programs.
