   BACKGROUND: In the spring of 2000, Multnomah ESD and the MESD Foundation submitted a grant proposal to the Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) under its "Ready to Learn" initiative. The proposal, titled Learning in Family Teams (LIFT), was awarded $60,000 over three years - the largest OCF grant under the initiative. LIFT is a parent-to-parent resource center that builds literacy and language skills in young children with disabilities by promoting wellness and growth in families. The program:
   
   expands and enhances parents' knowledge about early language development;
   ...
   "The emphasis in the field of early childhood special education is shifting from the traditional model with experts addressing parents ‘from the top down,'" said Nancy Anderson, principal of the Multnomah ESD Early Childhood Program. "This implies that the child is broken and here's how to fix the problem. We're using a new partnership model addressing the whole family, drawing from all resources to help family members become coaches."
   
   Part of this shift, as new best practices emerge from current research, involves parents learning from other parents. The partnership approach is more ecological and natural, working with the family in its own context. Because families respond more positively to this approach, it has the potential to reach and benefit many more children.
