Developmental Concerns

These resources support family service providers, home visitors, and other Head Start staff in engaging families when there are developmental concerns about their child. The resources address the initial conversations about screenings and developmental concerns and describe the referral and evaluation process. Engaging families in collaborative conversations about developmental concerns is more than just having a meeting or completing a form; it’s an ongoing process and an essential part of staff relationship with families.
