  2. EHS PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: • CHILD SCREENING: All children receive developmental & sensory screening inc. cognitive, behavioral, vision, hearing & a dental exam. Children are referred for necessary care • MEDICAL HOME: All children must receive medical & dental visits and all families are linked to a medical home • MATERNAL CARE:Pregnant women are screened for PPD and are referred for prenatal and postpartum care • ON-GOING ASSESSMENTS: Continual developmental and health/risk assessments for children and pregnant women • SOCIO-ECONOMIC SUPPORT:Assistance with issues such as food, housing, utilities, & referrals • PARENTING SKILLS: Family literacy & parent training skills Fact Sheet: Early Head Start • HOME VISIT LOGISTICS: • Home Visitors:Paraprofessional Home Visitors • Caseload per Home Visitor:12 Families • Onset, Duration, Frequency of Visits: 1 home visit per family per week for a minimum of 90 minutes, prenatally through age 3 • Group socialization activities: minimum 2 per month • Early Head Start Average Costs: • No information is available

  3. Fact Sheet: Family Check Up Theoretical model: • The Family Check-Up (FCU) model is the cornerstone of a more general intervention framework referred to as an Ecological Approach to Family Intervention and Treatment (EcoFIT). FCU is designed to address a range of needs of families from prevention to treatment for children ranging in age from 2 to 17 years old. In contrast to traditional clinical models, FCU utilizes a health maintenance model involving regular periodic contact between client and provider to prevent problems proactively. • HOME VISIT LOGISTICS: • Home Visitors: a parent consultant who has been trained in the program model and has an advanced degree in psychology or a related field • Caseload per Home Visitor:not specified • Onset, Duration, Frequency of Visits: 3 initial home visits, followed by Everyday Parenting curriculum and annual “check-ups” Family Check Up Average Costs: no information available

  4. HFA PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: • PROMOTE FAMILY WELLNESS :Help families access primary care and track immunizations • CHILD SCREENING: All children receive developmental screening • ON-GOING ASSESSMENTS: Continual developmental and health/risk assessments for children • FAMILY GOAL SETTING: Family centered approach focused on dyad and family’s goals; create a family plan.

  6. Fact Sheet: Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) Theoretical Model: HIPPY is a home-based, family-focused program model that helps parents support the development of their preschool children. HIPPY believes that parents are crucial to the early education of children. The HIPPY program supports parents who may not feel confident in fostering school readiness for their children and is designed to remove barriers to participation in education. It is delivered by home visitors who are members of the participating communities and parents in the program. • HOME VISIT LOGISTICS: • Home Visitors: recruited from local community and have a child of HIPPY-age, or have access to a practice child they can engage in the HIPPY curriculum • Caseload per Home Visitor:25 children per full-time HV • Onset, Duration, Frequency of Visits: this is a 2 or 3 year program for 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds, providing bi-weekly visits HIPPY Average Costs: $1,250 per child per year

  7. Fact Sheet: Nurse-Family Partnership Theoretical Model NFP is shaped by human attachment, human ecology, and self-efficacy theories. The nurse home visitors use principles of motivational interviewing to promote low-income, first-time mothers’ health during pregnancy, care of their child, and own personal growth and development. Nurse home visitors guide parents to reinforce the model’s goals. • HOME VISIT LOGISTICS: • Home Visitors: registered professional nurses with baccalaureate degree in nursing • Caseload per Home Visitor:no more than 25 clients • Onset, Duration, Frequency of Visits: biweekly in prenatal period, then weekly for first 6 weeks, biweekly until 20 months, then monthly until 24 months; typically 75 mins. • Nurse-Family Partnership Average Costs: • $4,500 per family per year (with a range of $2,914 to $6,463). The driving factor of cost is local nurse salaries.
