Who is eligible for Help Me Grow?
Children can be eligible for Help Me Grow early intervention services due to a qualifying diagnosed medical condition, or a developmental delay. They can qualify for the home visitation program if they are under 6 months of age, if this is mom's first pregnancy and if the family meets income guidelines. The family may also qualify if at least one parent is in active military duty.
What services do you offer families?
Help Me Grow is a child development program for expectant moms in their 3rd trimester, infants and toddlers under age 3 years. We provide health and developmental services, as well as a transition component in order to help parents and their 3 year olds make a smooth entry into school. Our program provides that little extra support needed to families during a crucial time of development for their young child. The following services are also provided by Help Me Grow: Service Coordination (each family has their own Service Coordinator), Parent Education, and Early Intervention Services for those children who have a qualifying diagnosed medical condition or developmental delay.
Do you offer playgroups?
Currently we are not offering playgroups, but your Service Coordinator can provide you with resources in the community and ideas for how your child can socialize with other children their age.
Explain the intake process once Help Me Grow receives a referral.
