Children who experience developmental delays early in life are at increased risk for poor health, education, and social outcomes in adulthood. Pediatric professionals are uniquely positioned to detect the developmental problems of young children.
This training supports practices in implementing on-going early detection of developmental risks in children, connecting them to follow-up assessment services, and linkage to support services through Help Me Grow. The Help Me Grow model promotes collaboration across child-serving sectors in order to build a more efficient and effective system to ensure the optimal healthy development of young children. Strategies for addressing health equity and delivering culturally sensitive care are also included.
Contact Maggy Morales to schedule an in-person training session or access the training online. The Developmental Monitoring training is one of three Educating Practices modules available online.
