Survey for Youth and Family Resource Centers and Parent/Teacher Home Visitation Project


This assessment is to be administered by trained Youth and Family Resource Center (YFRC) social workers or interns and Parent-Teacher Home Visitation (PTHV) teachers.

YFRC social workers/interns and PTHV teachers will complete the assessment at whatever point in time they feel confident that an accurate response can be recorded.

Responses to Question 1 and 2 should be based on interpretations of the information that has been shared over time by the student being assessed. For Question 3 the social workers/interns and teachers will record the student’s and caregiver’s ideas as well as their own.
