Screening and intervening early to improve developmental outcomes
THE HAMPTON ROADS DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING INITIATIVE
According to the Department of Education, as many as 1 in 4 children ages 5 and under are at risk for developmental delay or disability.
Unfortunately, because these delays can be subtle, 70% of children who would benefit from early intervention aren’t identified until after they start school. The Hampton Roads Developmental Screening Initiative (HRDSI) aims to increase understanding and coordinated use of the Ages and Stages (ASQ) developmental screening questionnaire among early childhood experts in Hampton Roads. By uniting these experts around early screening and intervention, together we can enhance the development of children who need extra supports.
The ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE screening tools help parents and early childhood educators:
- Screen for early childhood developmental (ASQ-3) and social emotional skills (ASQ:SE-2)
- Identify areas of need for monitoring or referrals
- Connect appropriate resources to community supports
HRSDI, a partnership of United Way of South Hampton Roads, United for Children and EVMS Minus 9 to 5, is funded by a five-year grant provided by the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation, which aims to support partners across Virginia spearheading this effort.
