You will also learn about a variety of free, easy-to-access follow-up resources ranging from everyday developmental activities to comprehensive referrals for additional support.
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
Define developmental screening and explain its value in early childhood programs.
Identify ways to use screening results to individualize services and strengthen family engagement.
Describe how to use the Ages & Stages Questionnaires® and locate free resources to support children’s developmental needs.
