Navigate Life Texas: Resources for kids with disabilities and special needs
HIPPY is a home-based, family-focused program that HISD provides to parents of children between the ages of 3 and 4 years-old, in English and Spanish, free of charge. HIPPY lessons are delivered by home instructors who are active parents from the community. These instructors are trained to cover a highly structured, 30-week curriculum in English or Spanish for an hour every week in the parents' home.
Home instructors use role play to teach parents educational activities which the parents can then practice with their children throughout the week.
Enroll by completing the application. HIPPY lessons last 45-60 minutes once a week and feature a wide variety of activities for parent and child, such as:
-Reading stories together and answering questions about the stories
-Counting and grouping
-Learning sounds
-Increasing vocabulary
-Identifying opposites
