Conference Presentations 2021:
Zero to Three Conference 2021: 27 October, Washington, DC
These presentations focus on the unique combination of using elements of Motivational Interviewing (MI) to enhance the experience of Home Visitors and others working with caregivers/families, as well as increase positive Home Visitor practices as measured by the Home Visit Rating Scales (HOVRS). MI used collaboratively with the HOVRS can contribute to accomplishing the goals of a home visitor-parent interaction while maintaining a strengths-based approach and better engaging families in the process.
