Jeanne Sokolec, Stephen Budde, John Poertner, and Dennette Derezotes

This document is a training tool designed to enhance the integration of research into practice. Using the findings obtained in research by Wendy Haight et. al., it is a collaborative effort between CFRC, the Illinois Education Partnership, SSW, UIUC, and DCFS. Haight identifies four stages of the supervised visit in her research. The focus of this document is on improving the clinical knowledge and skills of workers with regard to visitation at each stage in the process so that they can better help parents optimize the visitation experience.
