Strong communication enables valuable guidance in the development of the Family Goal Plan where families are encouraged to achieve identified goals. Through this significant encouragement, you utilize reflective strategies with interpersonal skills that normalize, explore and wonder, and accentuate the positive to help strengthen parent-child relationships. Efficient organizational skills assist in adequately documenting observations of children and families through weekly notes of your home visits while implementing a research-based curriculum.
