| Summary |
"Field-tested and shaped by feedback from directors of Early Head Start, child care organizations, and early intervention programs, The Visit is an essential professional development resource for supervisors to use with direct care practitioners who work with young children and their families. For use in homes, clinics, or group care settings, this tool shows how supervisors and direct care practitioners can work as a team to uncover a child's strengths and challenges and relate them to the strengths and challenges of the family." |

"During the visit, the practitioner interacts with the child while the supervisor conducts a reflective parent interview to gather key insights about family supports, separation issues, cultural values, attitudes toward parenting, and caregiving needs. Then the child performs age-appropriate tasks selected from standardized assessment instruments. After the visit, the supervisor and direct care practitioner share their observations in a co-review session. Reflecting together, they synthesize their own observations with information gathered from the parent and write a letter to the parent that summarizes what they saw and suggests next steps." "With this comprehensive resource, framed by the nonlinear dynamic systems theory of development and based on the principle of reflective supervision, supervisors will have everything they need to train direct care practitioners."--BOOK JACKET |
