What are home visits? How can practitioners use home visits to establish professional–family collaboration? Finally, how should practitioners prepare for and conduct home visits?
What will be an ideal response?
Home visits are used to provide families with the skills and support they need to effectively meet their priorities, outcomes, and goals that have been identified in either IFSPs or IEPs. Research shows that families develop more positive relationships with practitioners when they do home visits and that they are more likely to follow-through with IFSPs or IEPs because of this relationships. Thus, home visits are important relationship builders. Practitioners should carefully plan out home visits to maximum relationships and outcomes of the visit. Practitioners should establish length of visit, the agenda (i.e., what will be done), and determine which family members can and will participate.
