Help Me Grow Alabama is partnering with Wallace Community College to bring you Books, Balls, and Blocks- a free event held for children and their families. The purpose of the event is to screen children for developmental delays in the first 5 years of life.The event is fun, educational, and exciting! While children engage in games and activities at different stations, parents learn how these interactions help stimulate their child’s healthy development.
Also, while the children are playing, parents complete the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3). The ASQ-3 is reliable, valid, and easy to use. The ASQ-3 is the recommended tool to screen young children for developmental delays.
On-site, there will be professionals to score the ASQ-3 who will then share the results with the parents to learn if his or her child’s development.
1) Appears on schedule
2) Needs to be monitored and provided learning activities
3) Requires further assessment with a professional
Parents will be given resources concerning their child’s development and fun activities that they can do with their child! Free community resources will also be available at the event.
Our hope is for Help Me Grow: Books, Balls, and Blocks to be a fun and exciting event while supporting healthy development among children in our community.
