This article examines both the meaning of case management and several different approaches to case management practices. The information provided by this analysis is used for proposing an enabling model of case management as a framework for ensuring that early intervention practices optimally influence child, parent, and family functioning as part of development and implementation of Individualized Family Service Plans. The implications of the model for P.L. 99-457 (Part H) are discussed.
