Abstract
Including the family as active collaborators in planning and managing care is an integral
part of a diabetes education program. A comprehensive family assessment is necessary
prior to initiating education. This article reports a family of a child with diabetes;
the family had multiple problems and was assessed using Hymovich's framework for assessment
of the chronically ill child and family. By using this framework, which focuses on
family strengths, it was ascertained that this family's strengths far outweighed their
weaknesses and that they were quite capable of actively participating in their child's
care.
