Facilitating Developmental Interactions With Children in Out-of-Home Care

The first goal of this single arm clinical trial is to develop the Developmental Interactions Workshop Series (DIWS). The second goal is to learn about the DIWS's acceptability, feasibility, and usefulness by implementing it in agencies who provide residential care for children. The main questions it answers are * Does participating in the DIWS help caregivers to become more capable, motivated, and purposeful about using developmental interactions in their caregiving role? * Do caregivers and children see more developmental interactions during their routine daily activities after the caregivers complete the DIWS? Caregiving staff will * Attend the DIWS * Complete surveys 2-4 before and 4-6 weeks after the DIWS * Complete telephone interviews before and after the DIWS (a subset of caregiving staff) Children in care will complete brief surveys 2-4 weeks before and 4-8 weeks after their caregiving staff attend the DIWS.
