The ENVISAGE network has grown to include four programs described below.
ENVISAGE-Families is an online program for families new to parenting a child with a neurodevelopmental disability. This five-week program draws together contemporary ideas in childhood disability that focus on promoting family and child strengths and development. The program aims to improve family wellbeing and confidence by addressing the unique parenting challenges that can occur when a child is diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disability.
Our pilot study (Phase 4) examined the effect of supporting parents through ENVISAGE-Families and demonstrated positive impacts on caregiver empowerment, parenting sense of competence, family functioning and physical well-being. Plans are underway to evaluate the impact of ENVISAGE-Families in a randomised controlled trial.

ENVISAGE-SP builds on the research work and findings from ENVISAGE-Families. Parents in the ENVISAGE-Families program consistently identified the need for ENVISAGE-Families to be adapted and evaluated with, and for, service providers to ensure the uptake of the key ENVISAGE-Families ideas into their clinical practice.
It is anticipated that by involving both families and service providers in the development and delivery of ENVISAGE-SP these contemporary ideas and practices will affect change and enhance the well-being of many families and that of their children.
As part of ENVISAGE-SP a doctoral research program is exploring ways of teaching family centred service ways of working to Service Providers.
