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.
Diane
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.
Jon and Don
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.
