Developmental Screening Provider Resources
The following resources are intended for providers administering developmental screenings and submitting Child Find data.
Developmental Screenings to Early Intervention (EI) Referral Process
To support consistency across providers administering developmental screenings, we have added a Developmental Screening Flowchart document to serve as both a training resource and an ongoing reference guide. This tool is intended to help ensure all providers are following the same screening and referral process.
Resources
- Developmental Screening Flowchart
Use this document for staff training and as a quick-reference guide. - Child Find Screening Data Form
Please complete one Child Find Screening Data Form per month for each zip code served and submit it to Child and Family Connections #4. Forms should be submitted by the 10th of each month.
Thank you for your partnership and continued commitment to supporting children and families through developmental screening and early identification efforts.
