Abstract

The FY 19 CQI statewide topic of emphasis of increasing participation in the PICCOLO parent child interaction tool was chosen after reviewing the previous year’s MIECHV benchmarks during federal reporting and recognizing the need for improvement on that particular measure. Benchmark 10 Parent Child Interaction only achieved a 38% screening rate for families and was thus targeted as a benchmark where significant progress could be made. LIAs and home visiting clients were engaged to understand the barriers to participation and help suggest potential changes that could improve families’ willingness to participate.
