This two-part video series describes and illustrates how Amigo Baby, an early intervention program in Ventura, California, provides virtual home visiting services that are culturally and linguistically sensitive and responsive to Latinx families, including both Spanish-speaking and migrant indigenous families who speak Mixteco. The videos include insightful interviews with the program director, an early interventionist, an occupational therapist, and parents along with illustrative recordings of virtual home visits.
Part 1: Isai and Eliel's Story describes strategies for being responsive to families’ language and culture; the use of culturally appropriate communicators; working with all family members; using a team approach; being flexible and following the family’s lead; and the use of a coaching approach.
