‍Help Me Grow promotes early identification of developmental, behavioral or educational concerns, then links children and families to community-based services and supports at no cost to parents and caregivers.

Are you interested in learning more about your child’s development?
‍

Help Me Grow Florida ensures that all children have the best possible start in life by providing free developmental and behavioral screenings and connecting them to the resources they need to succeed.‍‍

All of the screenings, information, resources, and other tools 2-1-1 Big Bend shares through Help Me Grow are free. Many of our partners have free, low-fee, or sliding scale services, so there may be some costs associated with those programs. Our Care Coordinator can help find what works best for you.‍‍

This screening is for overall development. It includes questions about your child's communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal social skills. Click the image above or visit this link: https://www.asqonline.com/family/a2812f‍‍‍

This screening includes questions about your child's ability to calm down, take direction and follow rules, communicate, perform daily activities (e.g., eating, sleeping), act independently, demonstrate feelings, and interact with others.
