The Regional Intervention Program represents a pioneering approach to the delivery of community-based family-centered services. Parents of young children with behavioral disorders and/or developmental delays serve as primary therapists for their children, as principal trainers of other parents, and as daily operators of the service delivery system. Founded in 1969 in Nashville, Tennessee, the current Regional Intervention Program network is composed of 21 certified programs in 13 communities in the United States and Brazil. The conceptual framework that guided initial program design and selected elements of the program model are discussed.
