Parents as Teachers is designed to provide guidance and support to families
of all configurations and life circumstances, including teen parents.
Services are adapted to meet individual family needs. The following
services are the components of the program:
Personal Visits
PAT-certified parent educators,
trained in child development and home visiting, help parents understand
and have appropriate expectations for each stage of their child's development.
They offer practical ideas on ways to encourage learning and interact with
children.
Group Meetings
Parents meet to enhance their parenting
knowledge, gain new insights and share their experiences, common concerns
and successes. Group meetings also provide families the opportunity
to participate in parent-child activities.
Developmental Screening
Parents as Teachers offers periodic
screening of overall development, health, hearing, and vision to provide
early detection of potential problems and prevent later difficulties in
school.
Resource Network
Families are helped to access other
needed community services that are beyond the scope of the PAT program.
