The Visit is an instrument designed to 1) provide supervision and in-service training to professionals who work with infants and children, 2) build relationships between professionals and the families of children in their care, and 3) provide a brief developmental screening. A "visit" is a meeting between a parent, child, direct care practitioner, and his or her supervisor. It takes approximately one hour to complete. A visit can occur at a home, clinic, or group care setting. It is divided into three sections: an interview with the parent to identify the family's strengths and weaknesses, a developmental skills screening, and a co-review session with the practitioner and supervisor. The co-review process provides an opportunity for the practitioner to enhance his or her observation skills and allows for in-service training as the supervisor shares his or her reflections of the visit. This instrument consists of a manual, a CD-ROM, and a set of small red blocks used to complete the screening portion of a visit. The manual includes a set of photocopiable observation, reflection, and synthesis guides and visit record forms. The CD includes PDFs of the guides and record forms.
The manual and CD-ROM will only be sold together. There are visit record forms for eight age periods, ranging from 2 to 36 months. Each record form includes directions for conducting the visit, a list of age-appropriate tasks, a list of materials needed for the tasks, a developmental characteristies chart, a set of parent interview questions, and pages to complete during the co-review following the meeting.
Annette Axtmann, Ed.D., began her career in the early childhood field in the early 1950's, when she initiated a program in which parents observed and learned from their preschoolers at play. She founded a series of interage preschool programs as she and he family moved from state to state. The last of these programs, integrated into the College of Atlantic in Bay Harbor, Maine, was followed by her appointment as Professor of Early Childhood Education at Western Connecticut State College (now Western Connecticut State University) in Danbury. In the meantime, infancy was emerging as a field for research, theory, and practice. A delightful chance encounter with her 12-month-old granddaughter under the table-cloth at a family gathering and recognition of the growing need for infancy specialists led her to join a research group studying typical early development at the Yale Child Study Center and, simultaneously, to practice at Yale-New Haven Hospital's Infant Care Program serving health professionals at that time. The combination of research, practice, and theory yielded insights into how these influence each other, as had prior work with young children. Dr. Axtmann then co-founded, developed, and directed (from 1982 to 1996) the Center for Infants and Parents at Teachers College, Columbia University. The Visit was developed at the Center for Infants and Parents and in the field with babies, toddlers, parents, and graduate students. As Adjunct Associate Professor at Teachers College, Dr. Axtmann created graduate programs in infancy, presented at the increasing number of conferences focused on very early development and child care, and initiated a series of infancy conferences at Teachers College. Dr. Axtmann published articles in several journals and worked on a booklet for the videotape Babies, Toddlers, Parents, and Caregivers Growing Together. She created the videotape in 2001 with Daniel Polin, director of Great Films, Inc., in New York City, for use in group child care settings, home and hospital group care settings, and care by parents in their homes. Annegret Dettwiler, Ed.D., joined the Visit's research and development team of students and colleagues in 1993. She has contributed her understanding of the nonlinear dynamic systems perspective on early development, and this perspective is now integrated into the Visit. Dr. Dettwiler began her career in Geneva, Switzerland, where she worked with children with developmental disorders at the Clinique Universitaire de PA(c)diatrie. She subsequently continued her graduate education in Biobehavioral Studies and Movement Sciences at Teachers College, Columbia University. Dr. Dettwiler is a research scientist at the Center for the Study of Brain, Mind, and Behavior at Princeton University, where she continues her research on the neurobiological bases of the nonlinear dynamic systems perspective and is creating a framework for the assessment and treatment of developmental disorders in early childhood. Dr. Dettwiler has presented and continues to present the Visit internationally and in the United States.
