I agree with everyone else. I haven't had the experience of terminating myself but when my son did I updated his therapist via email every once in awhile. He always responded with a "great he is doing so well" kind of response. It was important to me to hear from him. It also made it easier for me to call and say, "he needs to come back."
In my own work, we graduate kids at 36 months from our program. Parents are usually VERY attached to their home visitor (imagine the dynamics there -- sick/disabled child, this angel comes into your home to work with the child and help you through all of it). We have a reunion picnic every summer so families can check in and the home teachers get to see how the child is doing. It works out really well.
I'm sure you will find what works best for you. Remember, in therapy, one size does NOT fit all.
