- "Even after all this time, we must continue to promote family-centered care, because it's something that all too often gets brushed aside when working in busy settings with fewer resources. The 'From Principles to Practice' piece is vitally important."
- "We should also focus on how to include families in program planning, and how that actually should happen logistically in the real world. It's not just as easy as putting a family representative on your advisory committee."
- "Organizations that represent families are definitely able and eager to work with you on a state or community level. Involve these great resources!"
