I purchased this book for a college class. Nothing in the book stood out in a "wow, I did not know that" way. However, if you are new to home visits, this book is a great tool.
What a wonderful book. I bought this book for my own enjoyment since I work in a EI clinic based program and home visits are part of the design. Love this book
It has really good tips if you are pursuing any career that deals with special needs children! very helpful!
