Family-centered care or Family-centered service has been discussed and promoted most prominently in the context of child health, and especially concerning chronic conditions of childhood.

This approach provides an expanded view of how to work with children and families.

Family-centered service is made up of a set of values, attitudes, and approaches to services for children with special needs and their families.

In some family-centered settings such as the Hasbro Children's Partial Hospital Program, medical and psychiatric services are integrated to help teach parents and children methods to treat both types of symptoms.

Family-centered service recognizes that each family is unique; that the family is the constant in the child’s life; and that they are the experts on the child’s abilities and needs.

The family works with service providers to make informed decisions about the services and supports the child and family receive.

In family-centered service, the strengths and needs of all family members are considered.

To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole.
