Honoring and Supporting Family Culture in Early Intervention - Part 1: Isai and Eliel's Story, Part 2: Max's Story
This two-part video series describes and illustrates how Amigo Baby, an early intervention program in Ventura, California, provides virtual home visiting services that are culturally and linguistically sensitive and responsive to Latinx families, including both Spanish-speaking and migrant indigenous families who speak Mixteco. The videos include insightful interviews with the program director, an early interventionist, an occupational therapist, and parents along with illustrative recordings of virtual home visits. Accompanying the videos is a set of reflective questions for both program administrators and practitioners.
