Description of the video:
Indiana First Steps is starting something newThis new approach is calledFamily Guided Routines-Based Intervention (FGRBI)The termFamily Guided means that you, the family, makes the decisions.You know your child better than anyone else.
The term Routines-Basedmeans that teaching children works best when it happens during the normal things that happen every day, like mealtime, dressing time, or outdoor play.
FGRBI approach to Early Intervention
Focuses on what is important to you
•Letsyou lead and providers “coach” by offering information and suggestions
•Helps you to work on new skills with your child during everyday routines
What does a home visit with FGRBI look like?
You may be wondering...
Using everyday routines is more than coming to your home to work with your child.
Children learn best with familiar people while they are doing meaningful, everyday things like:
•Getting dressed
•Eating a snack
•Playing ball
Instead of bringing special toys and materials to your home, you and the provider will teach your child using your family’s objects and toys.
You will choose routines and activities you believe are best to teach your child with your provider’s support.
Your role as the family
•Is to help your child grow and develop.
•You know your child and your routines better than anyone else, but the provider is there to support you.
You will support your child To learn while you do what you always do with your family during everyday routines and ineverydayplaces.
Your FirstStepsProvider’s roleis to help you teach your childAs a coach, your provider will:•Listen to your concerns
•Share information
•Offer suggestions about ways to help your child learn
To give your child regular practice
Your provider will help you choose routines and activities that are:
•Important
•Happen often
•Are comfortable for you and your family
By working together,
•Your child will have lots of practice to learn throughout the day, every day, not just during therapy sessions.
•Your child’s skills will develop, and your comfort and confidence in supporting your child’s development will grow.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.81,0:01:09.18,Default,,0,0,0,,So we talked a little bit about how

Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.68,0:01:39.64,Default,,0,0,0,,And we talked about how
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.64,0:01:41.75,Default,,0,0,0,,if she even just looked at them or
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.75,0:01:44.42,Default,,0,0,0,,if she tried to make a sound that
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.42,0:01:47.22,Default,,0,0,0,,that would be a good indication that she was ready for more bubbles.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.89,0:01:50.36,Default,,0,0,0,,And I - I like how you just keep modeling them more.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.84,0:02:09.94,Default,,0,0,0,,and popping the bubbles. 'Pop pop pop pop!'
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.94,0:02:12.51,Default,,0,0,0,,And they were very excited because in that activity
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.51,0:02:15.71,Default,,0,0,0,,they were able to hear Evelyn say 'buh buh' for bubbles

Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.58,0:02:21.45,Default,,0,0,0,,How do you think we could get her to indicate

Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.45,0:02:22.99,Default,,0,0,0,,Or - just more?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.99,0:02:24.69,Default,,0,0,0,,I feel like the more -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.69,0:02:25.22,Default,,0,0,0,,Okay
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.22,0:02:27.76,Default,,0,0,0,,- saying it more to her. You know?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.76,0:02:28.33,Default,,0,0,0,,Yeah!

Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.56,0:02:33.80,Default,,0,0,0,,So I don't think she'd say it, you know, but doesn't hurt to try.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.80,0:02:36.67,Default,,0,0,0,,I like getting... is it getting coached? I like getting coached
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.67,0:02:38.40,Default,,0,0,0,,because she's teaching me all these other
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.40,0:02:41.14,Default,,0,0,0,,stuff that I wouldn't have thought about teaching Evelyn
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.14,0:02:42.74,Default,,0,0,0,,and I'm learning a lot.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.34,0:02:48.95,Default,,0,0,0,,The beauty of Family Guided Routines Based Intervention
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.95,0:02:50.95,Default,,0,0,0,,is that through this practice
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.95,0:02:53.99,Default,,0,0,0,,they've been able to open their eyes to learning opportunities
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.99,0:02:55.15,Default,,0,0,0,,throughout their whole day.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.15,0:02:58.06,Default,,0,0,0,,And they've been able to find ways to encourage
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.06,0:03:00.89,Default,,0,0,0,,Evelyn's engagement and her communication
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.89,0:03:02.43,Default,,0,0,0,,in ways that they had never
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.43,0:03:04.80,Default,,0,0,0,,dreamt could be learning opportunities.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.80,0:03:06.83,Default,,0,0,0,,Just getting breakfast in the morning or
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.83,0:03:08.53,Default,,0,0,0,,getting your clothes on to get dressed.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.94,0:03:16.94,Default,,0,0,0,,and now I think they're finding ways to embed
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.94,0:03:18.31,Default,,0,0,0,,what we do during our visits
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.31,0:03:19.78,Default,,0,0,0,,throughout their whole day.

00:15
we all know how important that first
00:17
conversation we have with our families
00:20
is in setting the stage for successful
00:22
coaching interactions hi i'm nancy
00:24
brockway and i'm here to share some of
00:26
my tips on how to get this conversation
00:29
started i first start out letting
00:32
parents know that we are equal partners
00:34
in this process
00:36
i depend on their knowledge of their
00:38
child their routines and their
00:40
activities to help them develop a plan
00:43
that will work for their family because
00:46
of this i'm going to be asking lots of
00:47
questions so i can gather that
00:49
information that will support us in
00:51
making a plan
00:53
i let them know that my job is to help
00:55
them feel competent to support their
00:57
child's development when i'm not there
01:01
to accomplish this i'm going to model
01:02
strategies for them
01:05
i let them know that their participation
01:07
in practicing the strategies while i'm
01:09
there with them will help them feel
01:11
comfortable with the strategies and will
01:13
also help me feel comfortable knowing
01:15
they understand the strategies
01:18
i always let them know that our sessions
01:20
are flexible
01:22
if something doesn't work we will
01:24
problem solve through it together
01:26
that find something that does work or it
01:29
feels comfortable for their family
01:32
finally i tell parents that during our
01:34
visit we will develop a plan for what
01:37
they will do in between our visits when
01:39
i'm not there
01:41
also
01:42
a plan for what we will do when we get
01:44
back together for the next visit
01:47
i warn them that lots of families feel
01:50
uncomfortable with that next visit
01:52
question
01:53
but i reassure them that i will guide
01:54
them through it and with practice they
01:57
will become more comfortable letting me
01:59
know what their priorities are and what
02:01
they want to focus on thank you so much
02:03
i hope this was helpful for you
02:13

hi
00:16
my name is missy rose and i am a
00:18
pediatric physical therapist
00:20
i work in the early intervention setting
00:22
and i was asked to describe
00:25
what pt is like for a parent
00:27
well i
00:28
as a pt i'm going to come into your home
00:31
and we're going to talk about concerns
00:33
you have with how your child is moving
00:36
and we're going to problem solve
00:37
together how to make it easier for your
00:39
child to move so that they can keep up
00:41
with their siblings or with you
00:44
and after i've shown you ways to do it
00:47
then you as a parent are going to give
00:49
it a try and i'm just going to be there
00:51
to guide you so that it's as easy as
00:54
possible
00:55
but the thing to remember is that i'm
00:56
only there usually once a week
00:59
so this is
01:01
activities that i'd love to build into
01:02
your daily routine so that you know how
01:05
to help your child throughout the week
01:07
so i'm there more as a guide or a coach
01:10
so that
01:11
you know how to help your child become
01:13
successful
01:22
[Music]
01:26
