Assessment and collaboration in family, home, and cultural contexts

Abstract

This chapter covers family, home, and cultural factors that influence trajectories of development. Both risk and resilience factors related to child developmental outcomes are described. The chapter also covers family/home assessment, including use of specific tools. The last sections of this chapter cover links of family/home assessment to interventions. These sections incorporate learning/academic interventions as well as interventions that target development of social-emotional skills in young children.
