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 tool for supervisors to use with direct care practitioners who work with young children and their families. This tool guides supervisors through structured, 1-hour meetings that strengthen parent/professional relationships and capture an accurate picture of the child's development. As supervisors and direct care practitioners work as a team to uncover the child's strengths and challenges and relate them to the strengths and challenges of the family, direct care practitioners obtain professional skill. During the visit, the parent chooses whether they would like to begin with a parent interview or tasks for the child. The practitioner may interact with the child while the supervisor conducts a parent interview to gather key insights about the family. Then the supervisor and parent offer the child 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, synthesizing their reflections with information gathered from the parent and writing a parent letter that suggests next steps. To help make the meetings successful. The Visit includes Observation, Reflection, Synthesis guides--one for each of eight age ranges from 2 to 36 months. Each guide includes photocopiable record forms with instructions, reflective parent interview questions, a list of age-appropriate tasks, a developmental characteristics chart, and pages to complete at the co-review. For easy printing of unlimited quantities, all photocopiable materials are also on an included CD-ROM. With this comprehensive tool, 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.
