T. services, as measured by the measure of processes of care (MPOC) Abstract: Over the past twenty years, there has been a dramatic change in the nature of service delivery for children with disabilities and the parent-service provider relationship. As opposed to the traditional professional-directed style of child-centred care, a new approach is now opted for, referred to as Family-Centered Care (King et. ai, 1999).

As professionals we need to be able to respond quickly to changes within market conditions, to client requirements and to the influences of government policies. In this position paper, I will focus on continuing professional development (CPD) and therefore, the concept or lifelong learning will be highlighted.
