Narrative
If all EIT members use evidence-based practices and monitor the child’s progress during home visits then parents participate in home visits to learn strategies to improve their child’s development.
And if parents use these strategies between visits with providers then the intended consequence is an increased percent of children with positive social-emotional outcomes.
