MindBuilders' Home Consultation Programme
What happens in a PLAY Home Consultation?
An experienced Home Consultant will visit the child's home regularly to coach parents, siblings and other
family members how to play, communicate and interact with the child. A home visit takes about 2 hours and
includes observation, discussion, strategies and modelling of interactive play and effective
communication. I aim to video about 15 minutes of the session to help us to observe and notice what is
going on. The subsequent Review Meeting is an integral part of the programme as it provides parents and
Home Consultant with the opportunity to reflect together on the meaning of the child's problems, to
understand the complexity of the situation and to think about how to reduce disturbances and work
towards developmental progress.
How long does it take?
Parents always report immediate changes in their child and for themselves after the first Home
Consultation and Review meetings. But just as a house is not built in a day and a plant needs time to grow
fruit, mental development takes time, patience and commitment. To see real progress therefore requires a
commitment from parents and home consultant to work together with the child for usually at least one
year. All families I have worked with report solid progress in their child and the whole family after 1-3
years of working together.
What is MindBuilders' approach?
MindBuilders uses a developmental approach based on the DIR Floortime and The PLAY Project models as
well as other developmental techniques, e.g. Waldon activities, to create a programme that is tailored
