Infant Toddler Consultant Self-Assessment Tool
The Infant Toddler Consultant Self-Assessment Tool (Self-Assessment Tool) is designed for consultants from all disciplines (health, mental health, education, social services, etc.) who work in any setting that provides services to infants, toddlers, and their families, or who provide support to individuals working in these settings. The primary purpose of this tool is for consultants to assess their own level of proficiency with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to support early childhood programs that serve infants and toddlers. This self-assessment tool is a companion to A Guide to Effective Consultation with Settings Serving Infants, Toddlers, and their Families: Core Knowledge, Competencies, and Dispositions (CKC Guide) previously developed in Region I. Both the CKC Guide and this self-assessment tool were developed by Region I workgroups composed of representatives from all six New England States, national technical assistance providers, and staff from the Region I Office of Child Care and Office of Head Start.
