In-home observation

Purpose

  • To describe parent-child interactions in the home environment.
  • To identify how social interaction relates to other development.

What it looks like:

  • We will “visit” you using video-conferencing one to three times a year.
  • Each video home visit will last 30-60 minutes.
  • We will ask you to play with your child in a few activities (e.g., book reading), so we can observe your interactions.
  • Needed materials such as toys and computer equipment will be sent directly to your home.
