Book Synopsis

The Life Skills Progression (LSP) is a tool for those working with families of children from birth to age three, designed to provide the data home visiting programs need to demonstrate their effectiveness and attract funding. This book/CD-ROM manual contains everything professionals need to use the LSP, including detailed instructions for use and the tool itself. The CD-ROM contains the entire tool, for easy printing, plus the instruction chapter, a data entry form, and a cumulative score sheet. The manual will be used by social workers, public health nurses, mental health care providers, and other home visitors. Wollesen is a former public health nurse manager. Peifer is a past evaluator of the San Mateo County Prenatal to Three Initiative. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
