Home Visiting
Home visitation is a strategy utilized by a variety of programs. The following research and recommendations pertain to home visitation programs that focus on supporting families with young children. The model programs described are those programs that utilize home visitation as their primary service strategy.
Home visiting provides a unique opportunity to transmit information and support families. Since home visiting delivers services where the family´s life takes place, it is an especially useful strategy for reaching families who are geographically, socially, or psychologically isolated. In addition, home visiting accommodates families´ needs and schedules and allows the home visitor to better consider family circumstances when tailoring interventions. 1
