Project DescriptionThis study evaluates the impact of a home-visitation program on young children’s social-emotional learning and literacy development. The project seeks to examine the efficacy of providing home-based services to hard-to-reach families living in economically isolated communities. No research to date has rigorously tested the effectiveness of a home-based program on measures of school readiness for diverse racial-ethnic groups. This study is under the direction of Drs. LaRue Allen and Jennifer Astuto.
