Intervention and the treatment plan can take many forms and often occurs during the social work interview, especially if the child already confirmed diagnosis. Examples include:
 * helping families understand the nature of their child's disability
 * reframing the parent's perspective of their child's behavior
 * taking action to protect a child who is being neglected or abused by the parents
 * providing the family with information about their child's disability, service systems, and entitlements
 * information related to transition and future planning (guardianship, special needs trust)
