This is an assessment of how a parent is able to meet their child's needs, but the assessment includes Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) sessions. The purpose of the VIG sessions are to help the parent be more responsive to their children's needs by developing skills in mentalizing and communication. As the parent is being both assessed and supported simultaneously, this is called a dynamic parenting assessment.
​
​
Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) is a strengths-focussed and evidence-based intervention that can support a wide range of difficulties that families experience. By helping parents or carers to respond to their child's cues and improve their communication together they can make progress towards specific goals over a short time-frame.

Video Enhanced Reflective Practice (VERP) is a tool for professional development designed to enhance interactions in a professional context through structured video-based reflection sessions.
