Abstract
Practitioners constantly seek innovative ways to improve service delivery to high-risk children and families who are isolated and unlikely to seek help at an agency. Home-based practice is rapidly becoming an alternative to practice in office settings. The authors describe the enhanced assessment and intervention opportunities afforded through home-based practice. Intervention and personal management skills needed to conduct effective home-based practice are described and illustrated.Keywords
