WHAT DOES the Developmental Solutions Workshops program provide?
The Family Engagement Program is partnering with the Marshall Foundation and the University of Arizona’s Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences Department to provide services to families with children aged 24-48 months with suspected communication delays. Caregivers whose children meet program criteria will participate in a series of Developmental Solutions Workshops that provide parents with the tools to promote their child’s communication abilities. Upon completion of the program, parents should have increased skills and abilities to help their child meet communications milestones.
WHEN DOES ENROLLMENT START?
Enrollment is currently open. Representatives from community agencies (AzEIP, DDD, Child Find, PCP, Audiologists, Head Start, and Parents as Teachers) may refer families or caregivers can register themselves using this link.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once a family is referred to the Developmental Solutions Workshop program, the child will be scheduled for an Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) Developmental Screening provided by the UA’s Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences Department. Caregivers whose children score below expected developmental levels in communication on the ASQ-3 will be accepted into the Developmental Solutions Workshops. Delivered by the Family Engagement Program, this six-month series of workshops will provide caregivers with learning tools to promote growth in their child’s communication. Once caregivers complete this series, their child will receive another ASQ-3 communication screening to determine skill development and any suggestions for next steps.
