Developmental Support Plan (DSP) Training
Presented by
Alberta Home Visitation Network
Cohort 6 Dates:
November 2nd -23rd, 2023
About Developmental Support Plan (DSP)
Participants will learn how to use the results of the developmental screen, observations and caregiver report to create a Developmental Support Plan (DSP) unique to each child, using the Hand in Hand and the Nurturing the Seed tools. DSPs are strength-based and age-appropriate for each particular child, and unique to the needs of the family. They can be used throughout professional practice to enhance interactions between a parent and child.
Training Objectives:
- to increase knowledge and skill that directly impacts the work practitioners do with young children under the age of 6 and their parents/caregivers.
- enhance knowledge and skill in the Ages and Stages Questionnaire and follow up.
- increase the capacity of an agency to recognize and respond to early concerns about a child’s development.
- provide a concrete method and resources for following up ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 with families
- Access to the Hand in Hand and Nurturing the Seed resources included in the training

Infant and Early Mental Health promotion asks that all teams using DSP have at least one supervisor or manager trained. However, for the virtual session, there is a shorter option for leaders who do not work directly with families (Stream 1). Team members can still attend the in person training if the leader opts to attend the virtual session.
We encourage all leadership to attend the training to be better able to support their team to use the tools.
Notes:
- All steps MUST be completed in the order above to both use the DSP and to receive a certificate
- Each cohort has their own timeline with specific deadlines for self-directed tasks and dates for coaching sessions. You will receive a written pathway to follow prior to your cohort beginning
Virtual Training and Coaching Expectations
- Self directed learning and activities must be complete prior to the corresponding coaching session
- There will be work to complete on your own between each coaching session
- Virtual coaching sessions are interactive, not webinars; each participant must have access to a camera, microphone and internet
- Cameras must be on and microphones available throughout coaching sessions
Who Should Attend:
- Family Resource Network Home Visitation and Early Childhood Spoke team members and leadership.
- Infant and Early Mental Health promotion asks that all teams using DSP have at least one supervisor or manager trained.
- For the virtual session, there is a shorter option for leaders who do not work directly with families. Team members can still attend the in person training if the leader opts to attend the virtual session in Winter 2023.
