Treatment Designs

Modular treatment designs enable interventionists to adapt intervention content to individual clients, a process referred to as individualization. Little is known about individualization processes and its effects on outcomes in early childhood services. This exploratory study investigated individualization processes undertaken by Early Head Start home visitors as they provided Little Talks, a modularized book-sharing intervention for families. It also examined the effect of individualization on parent involvement in early learning activities. Two indicators of individualization were calculated in this study: (a) the proportion of change in the Little Talks’ lessons sequence and (b) the pace of delivery. Findings showed that most home visitors individualized Little Talks, with the most frequent change being the repetition of lessons. Exploratory regression analysis showed an inverse relationship between home visitors’ individualization behavior and parent involvement, highlighting the need to examine the quality of individualization. Implications for advancing the implementation and study of individualization processes in home visiting are discussed.

Family Centered

The importance of home visiting in the overall strategy for promoting the health and development of children and families is still being debated. In a 1980 conference in which the role of home visiting in delivering preventive services to families with young children was explored, a number of rather heterogeneous programs were examined. There was little agreement concerning why one program appeared to be effective and another did not. Some of the variables thought to be related to positive outcomes were the timing of the intervention (prenatal vs postnatal); intensity (weekly or more vs monthly or less); duration (a year or more vs less than a year); how careful was the selection, training and supervision, and continuing education of the home visitors; content of the intervention (specific educational content and/or emotional support); the overall framework of the intervention (child centered, family centered, ecologic); and the research design and sample size.

Family Empowerment

There is a strong association between the poverty level of families and the neglect of children, including chronic neglect. The author reports on six projects designed to reduce the level and extent of chronic neglect of children in their geographic areas. Within the population of families in poverty who are reported for neglect, certain stances and strategies, including family empowerment, the use of groups to develop social support networks, and the assistance of volunteers or paraprofessionals as home visitors or parent aides, appear to be beneficial.
