Details
This workshop is tailored to home visitors who routinely administer developmental screenings (ASQ, ASQ-SE, etc.). In our discussion, early childhood development is adaptive to the child’s relational and cultural contexts. We will engage in reflection and discussion about the challenges of centering the parent-child relationship while administering developmental screening. We will learn to flex our reflection muscle by understanding our implicit biases and we will identify opportunities to make meaningful connections with families during the assessment visit. We will support you in finding joy in your role while lifting up the caregivers’ strengths in parenting.
