Curriculum-Based Education

SCAN’s THV Program uses the evidenced-based Play and Learning Strategies (PALS) Infant Curriculum for parents and other adult caregivers with children from 4 to 20 months of age. The PALS Infant Curriculum has 11 sessions that are provided to caregivers on a weekly basis in their homes. Key topics include:

• Recognizing and responding appropriately to signals from children
• Maintaining a child’s focus of attention
• Stimulating language development and thinking skills
• Supporting autonomy-seeking in their children
• Responding to limit-testing behaviors

Screening & Referrals

Staff provide screening and referrals to ensure that participants are provided with access to information and resources in the community to meet their comprehensive needs.

Case Management

Staff uses an assertive case management approach that involves frequent contacts with participants to help reinforce PALS Curriculum lessons and to ensure that participants are able to access need referral sources in the community.
