New Tools for Listening to and Supporting Households with Young Children (and Other Adults in Their Lives)

Event March 15, 2023 12:00AM

RAPID at the Start Early 2023 Virtual National Home Visiting Summit

This plenary focuses on the need for new tools to facilitate early childhood practice, policy and advocacy in a world of rapid change and uncertainty. We will present information about the RAPID survey platform, which since early 2020 has been elevating the voices of parents with young children and the early childhood workforce about their experiences, strengths and needs. And present information about the FIND program, an evidence-based approach that employs video modeling and coaching to support practitioners, early childhood educators and parents. These 2 tools are designed to be complementary to existing programmatic and policy efforts, and to provide a context for continuous improvement of services to young children, parents and other adults in their lives.
