Supervised Visitation
​
Supervised visitations provide an opportunity for the child and their parent to continue to develop in a safe, neutral, home-like setting that promotes positive interaction.
​
Most visits have full-time in-room monitoring or intermittent monitors who observer from outside the room. Although, some visitations take place without any monitoring at all.
​
The level of supervision is usually determined by the court or referring agency.
Other types of visitations:
Grandparent visitation
Step-parent visitation
Sibling visitation
Guided visitation
