  12. Scenario #1 • Fatima is a child that was born in the U.S. Her parents only speak their native language. They  get discouraged and are shy to even try speaking English. Knowing this, how do you plan and conduct your first visit?

  13. Scenario #2 • You are conducting a home visit. You are reading to a child and the child refuses to give you eye contact. You’re thinking the child is not participating, so you keep asking the child to look at you, but the child continues to avoid eye contact. How do you work to understand the child’s communication?

  14. Scenario #3 • You’re working with a family who is currently homeless. They are having a hard time making it to the facility and they cancel many times. What do you do?
