Evaluation of an Early Childhood Development Intervention Among Children Born to HIV-Infected Women in Eswatini

"Modeled on the Early Learning Resource Unit's Family \& Community Motivator home visiting program and Philani Mentor Mothers home visiting program in South Africa. Program provided stimulation in 5 domains: cognitive, receptive and expressive language, gross and fine motor skills, also covered topics in maternal and child health, nutrition and social services.~Comprised primarily of home visits beginning during pregnancy and continuing until the child was 18 months. ECD MM taught the parent/caregiver about ages and stages of growth, helped facilitate responsive parenting and early learning opportunities for their children, demonstrated use of toys and books to stimulate the child, provided families with picture books, and taught caregivers to create toys and books for their child. Community parenting information play groups and educational talks on ECD at the clinic supplemented home visits."
