Strengthening Early Intervention Home Visitation Quality: A Focus on Partnerships and Interactions
Miriam Kuhn; Johanna Higgins
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v44 n4 p249-262 2025
Early intervention (EI) home visitation programs are central to delivering services that support infants and toddlers displaying developmental delays or disabilities and their families. Entities that oversee such programs continually seek to strengthen the quality of program practices. The "Getting Ready" approach is a professional development (PD) framework for partnering with families and delivering high quality routines-based home visits. Interviews were conducted with family members (n = 22), EI service providers (n = 12), and independent, dedicated EI service coordinators (n = 7) in a midwestern U.S. state, and written home visit action plans from professionals' home visits (n = 11) were reviewed. Findings from qualitative analyses of these two data sources deepen understanding of effective family-professional partnerships, data-driven decision-making processes, and collaborative development of routines-based interventions focused on family-child interactions and the achievement of child/family IFSP outcomes.
