A research strategy for the evaluation of service coordination in family-centered childhood disability services is proposed. The strategy is consistent with Donabedian’s classic framework for applied research in health care. Emphasis is given to process and outcome indicators that offer the parent or caregiver perspective on the quality of the service. The intent is to offer a parsimonious paradigm that will facilitate the operationalization of basic components of family-centered service coordination. Further, it is hoped that the proposed paradigm will serve to advance discussion of important themes in programs of professional training of service coordinators in childhood disability services.
