What is a Home Visitor?

An (educational) Home Visitor is a professional who comes to your home to work with you and your child to meet educational needs. Home Visitors are usually experienced in family interactions and are skilled in knowing how to meet your needs. Home Visitors are commonly outsourced from an agency or company in which they are given a schedule of different families to meet.

One of the unique strengths of a Home Visitor is the way they are able to interact with families and meet the goals of the family. Being that no one family is the same it is the responsibility of the Specialist or Home Visitor to tailor to the families specific needs.   Home Visitors improve interactions between the parent and child. They promote healthy growth and development and works toward the success of the child and the family on a whole.
