Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME)

The Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) is an assessment tool used by researchers and professionals to evaluate the quality and resources of a child's home environment. It observes factors such as parental support, learning materials, and overall safety to understand how the environment may influence a child's development. The goal is to identify areas that promote or hinder growth, helping to tailor interventions or support to improve a child's early experiences and developmental outcomes in a respectful and comprehensive manner.
