The CDA Home Visitor Professional Portfolio Resource Collection V (RC V) focuses on demonstrating a candidate’s ability to work collaboratively with families to create tailored plans that support their children’s #development and strengthen family #engagement. One key component is providing a sample Family Action Plan, which outlines personalized goals, objectives, and strategies designed to empower families and promote positive outcomes for children.

What is a Family Action Plan?

A Family Action Plan is a tool used by Home Visitors to collaborate with families in setting achievable goals for their children’s #growth-and the family’s overall well-being. It identifies:

• Goals and objectives for both the child and family.
• Adult strengths that can be leveraged to support these goals.
• Activities and actionable steps to achieve the desired outcomes.

The plan ensures that families are actively involved in their children’s development and provides a clear roadmap for progress.

Key Elements of a Family Action Plan

1. Goals and Objectives
   The goals should be clear, measurable, and focused on the family’s priorities. Objectives break down each goal into actionable steps to help families work toward achieving them.
2. Adult Strengths
   Identifying the #parents’ or caregivers’ strengths builds confidence and highlights how they can contribute to their child’s success.
3. Activities to Achieve Goals
   Activities should be practical, #developmentally appropriate, and easily integrated into daily routines. They should empower families to engage in their children’s learning and development.

Sample Family Action Plan

Family: The Johnson Family

Child: Maya (3 years old)
Parents: Alicia and David

Goal #1: Enhance Maya’s #language-development.

• Objective: Increase Maya’s ability to use two- to three-word phrases during daily routines.
• Adult Strengths:
1. Alicia enjoys singing and storytelling, which can be used to foster #language-skills.
2. David is creative and can incorporate language games during #playtime.
• Activities:
1. Practice labeling objects around the house during meals or play (e.g., “This is your spoon.”).
2. Sing songs with repetitive phrases (e.g., “The Wheels on the Bus”) to encourage imitation.
3. Use a picture book with simple words to point to and name objects.

Goal #2: Foster a consistent daily routine to support family organization and reduce #stress.

• Objective: Establish a structured morning routine that the family follows at least four days a week.
• Adult Strengths:
1. Alicia is organized and enjoys creating schedules.
2. David is proactive in getting Maya ready in the mornings.
• Activities:
1. Develop a visual chart with pictures showing the steps in the morning routine (e.g., brushing teeth, getting dressed, eating breakfast).
2. Set a timer for each activity to keep the routine on track.
3. Celebrate success with a sticker reward system for Maya when she completes her morning routine.

Why Family Action Plans Are Essential

• Individualized Support: Each family has unique strengths and challenges. The plan tailors goals and strategies to fit their specific needs.
• Empowers Families: By highlighting adult strengths, the plan reinforces the important role parents play in their child’s growth.
• Encourages Collaboration: Home Visitors and families work together to set goals and implement activities, creating a sense of shared ownership.
• Tracks Progress: Action plans provide a framework for assessing the family’s development over time and adjusting goals as needed.

Tips for Creating Effective Family Action Plans

• Start with the Family’s Priorities
  Actively listen to the family’s concerns, aspirations, and needs. Goals should align with their vision for their child’s growth.
• Be Specific and Measurable
  Avoid vague objectives. Instead of “improve communication,” state, “Increase the child’s vocabulary by using five new words weekly.”
• Keep Activities Practical
  Ensure activities are manageable and can easily fit into the family’s daily routines.
• Celebrate Progress
  Acknowledge and celebrate small wins to keep families motivated and engaged.

The Family Action Plan is a cornerstone of the CDA Home Visitor Professional Portfolio RC V. It showcases your ability to collaborate with families, set meaningful goals, and create actionable steps to achieve them. By focusing on family strengths and incorporating developmentally appropriate activities, you empower parents and caregivers to take an active role in their children’s development.

Through thoughtful planning and partnership, Home Visitors can create a lasting impact on families and help them build strong foundations for their children’s future success.
