She taught me to use TAMO techniques and\u00a0positioning strategies and shared other ideas that I was eager to use. When she left, I found that the day would pass and I would have forgotten to use what I learned&#8230;this was especially surprising given that I WAS an early interventionist.<\/p>\n<p>My experience occurred years ago, but I&#8217;ve recently heard families and providers talking about this same issue &#8211; how to help families use strategies between visits, how to make it easier on them to help their children be successful. It&#8217;s not easy providing support when you (the service provider) aren&#8217;t there, is it?<\/p>\n<p>When I was on the receiving end of EI, I\u00a0found that I had to problem-solve how to help myself remember what to do between visits. After plotting out our daily routine and when I could use the strategies we had developed during the PT sessions, I still struggled with remembering them during the day. I found that the day would pass with lots of diaper changes, errands, <a href=\"http:\/\/veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/being-playful-vs-playing-with-toys-whats-the-difference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">playtime<\/a>, and time at the sitter (while I worked part-time) and poof&#8230;it would be 7pm and I had only stretched my son once. I felt like I was definitely not up for the mommy-of-the-year award at the ends of those days.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>My Grand Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So I came up with a grand plan to help me remember&#8230;sticky notes. Yes, the best idea I had was to use sticky notes. I posted sticky notes everywhere &#8211; by the changing table, in our play area, in the kitchen, in the car, in my son&#8217;s room, in the bathroom, everywhere. Without these visual reminders, my sleep-deprived brain just couldn&#8217;t keep up. This simple strategy did help me get into a new routine of <a href=\"http:\/\/veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/embedding-strategies-into-family-routines-one-pts-perspective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">embedding<\/a> the strategies into what I already did and eventually they became no-brainers. Getting there was the hard part.<\/p>\n<p>There is some <a href=\"http:\/\/eric.ed.gov\/?id=EJ627962\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research<\/a> from Dunst and his colleagues that found that\u00a0families appreciate <a href=\"http:\/\/veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/to-give-homework-or-not-to-give-homework\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">visual reminders<\/a>, something they can post on the frig to remember what to do <a href=\"http:\/\/veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/helping-families-bridge-the-gap-between-your-visit-the-rest-of-the-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">between visits<\/a>. We can help families think about their routines. We can join routines to help families practice using strategies. What can we do, then, to support them when we aren&#8217;t there?<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s my question to you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you do now to help\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/parents-the-key-to-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parents<\/a> and caregivers\u00a0remember to use the strategies developed during visits??<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Share your ideas so we can help families think beyond sticky notes!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>See this posts for more ideas about supporting families between visits:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/?p=401\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Who is the Focus of your Visit? &#8211; Adult Learning &amp; Early Intervention<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years ago when my son and I were receiving EI for his torticollis, I found myself surprised about how hard it was to remember to use the strategies that the PT and I practiced during our visits.
