Watch clips of our parents and family support staff working together as partners to identify and address developmental screening concerns of children. When parents and staff help each other, they learn about their strengths, and the strengths of their children while learning from each other’s personal life experiences.

When screenings reveal concerns, it is important for parents to feel confident in their decisions and connect with resources that address their children’s needs. Meet Diane, a child development specialist, who discusses how professionals can support parents in their decision to seek services for their children.

Utilizing a strengths-based approach with families is critical, particularly when concerns arise. Meet Jon, a child development specialist, and Don, a parent of children with special needs. Jon and Don discuss the importance of using a strengths-based approach so families are empowered to support their children’s needs and as such ensure their future successes.
