NATIVE AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL PARENT RESOURCES INC

Early Intervention--Part C services for families with infant/toddlers with or at risk for developmental delays.  All services are provided in family homes or community-based settings using a relationship-based approach to meeting family driven outcomes for their child/family.  Specialized developmental and therapy services are provided, along with Service Coordination to families based on an Individual Family Service Plan.

Early Head Start services are provided to income-eligible (based on federal poverty guidelines and Early Head Start performance standards) families with young children prenatal through age three.  Comprehensive child development, health, and family partnership services are provided in home based settings that include both individual home visits and socialization experiences.

NAPPR operates two home visiting programs under one umbrella, the largest is the "Tribal Home Visiting" project specifically related to Native Americans and the smaller of the two is funded by the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department.  Both programs will be using evidence-based models of home visiting beginning in September of 2011.  Services are provided to families with children prenatal through kindergarten entry and focus on supporting the attachment, and the on-going relationship between infants/young children with their primary caregivers.  Both programs rely on the fundamentals and principles of Infant Mental Health Research which demonstrates that all learning takes place in the context of relationships.  Budget information is the proposed budget (not yet finalized) for the federal fiscal year September 30, 2011 - September 29, 2012
