The Family Check-Up is a comprehensive family assessment
includes a home visit, observations of family interactions,
interviews with family members, and a school-based
assessment. All information is kept strictly confidential.
Following the family assessment, one or two additional
meetings are held to provide feedback to the family.
The goal of the feedback session is to collaborate
with parents to evaluate their family’s needs with
respect to service options. A menu of intervention
options is provided to parents, including services
in the practicum.
