Home Visiting in Early Childhood

Catalog description

This course explores the use and practice of home visiting in early childhood and early intervention programs as a means of providing services and supports to diverse young children and their families. A variety of home visiting approaches will be explored, with focus on a primary service provider model through an ecological systems lens. As home visiting is an opportunity for providers to work with both young children and their families, an additional focus will include building and maintaining relationships with families, strategies for communication with families, and collaboration across disciplines will be included. Using strategies to promote development and work with children of varying abilities and from diverse background will also be a key focus of this course.
