Supporting Success
Check your progress—and adjust your course if you need to
Your screening journey doesn’t stop when your program is up and running. To support screening success on an ongoing basis, you’ll want to evaluate and monitor your program and make adjustments to any elements that don’t work. On this page, you’ll discover resources to help you maintain communication with families, promote healthy development between screenings, monitor your program’s progress, and fine-tune any problem areas.
Screening is just the beginning! Between screenings, stay connected with the families in your program by offering them fun activities they can do with their child, sharing parent education materials, providing information about helpful community resources, and following up about any areas of concern. Here are some resources to help you build strong connections with families.
