Development is a Journey: A Conversation Roadmap for Talking with Families

Early identification and intervention are critical to promote a child's optimal development. Yet, developmental screening results and concerns can be anxiety-provoking for families and providers. The Brazelton Touchpoints Center has developed a tool to help family-facing providers have collaborative and productive conversations with families about developmental screening results. The Development is a Journey Conversation Roadmap facilitates these conversations with seven simple steps to enhance the provider-parent partnership and engage parents and other caregivers in planning for their child's developmental needs.

In this workshop, participants will:

1. Explore the seven steps in the Roadmap tool
2. Learn strategies to engage parents and families in the developmental screening process
3. Practice having conversations about developmental screening results that honor families' perspectives, cultures, and values
4. Learn strategies to elicit parents' observations of their children's strengths, as well as their concerns about their children's behavior and development
5. Practice sharing their own observations of children's behavior with parents
6. Practice next steps when a developmental screener yields reason for concern
