Other Modules
Parents Interacting with Infants and Toddlers (PIWI)
PIWI has been successfully used in community-based, early head start and early intervention programs with a diverse range of parents and children. While the primary focus of the module will be on parent child groups, the training materials also provides guidance on the use of the model in home visiting. These training materials provide the professional with guidance on how to support a parent or other caregiver as they interact with the infant or toddler. The following link will take you to the Pyramid Model Consortium website.
When will PIWI modules be updated? We are unaware of updates planned for PIWI. If you are seeking information on the delivery of the Pyramid Model within early intervention, contact Lise Fox at lisefox@usf.edu.
