Interested families will first complete a short parentPRO assessment with a Parent Engagement Specialist or on parentPRO.org. If home visiting is a good fit for a family, a referral is made to a local home-visiting program or if home visiting is not a good fit, other community resources are provided to help meet the needs of the family.
parentPRO
ParentPRO opens the door to home visiting for Oklahoma! We connect those who are pregnant for the first time and parents, with children from birth to five years, with local home visiting programs based on family needs and program requirements. All services are started on a voluntary basis. To help remove some of the mystery, we’ve put together this short document on the process.
