"Together, we can identify children at risk for developmental and behavioral problems and connect them to the critical resources they need."

- Paul H. Dworkin, MD Connecticut Children's Medical Center

Paul Dworkin, MDAs a nation, we face two major challenges in helping our children with developmental problems.

First, children at risk for developmental and behavioral problems are too often eluding early detection, which is the cornerstone to addressing such issues effectively.

Second, even when at-risk children are identified, families often cannot find the programs and services their children most need. Quality programs do exist to help them, but significant barriers keep families from connecting with the resources. We need to remove these barriers.

The Help Me Grow system has piqued national interest because it tackles both challenges on a state-by-state level.

It offers a resoundingly successful model of collaboration across sectors, including child health care providers, childcare providers, schools, and parents, to improve early detection. Then, through comprehensive community outreach and centralized information centers, it efficiently and effectively links families and children to the programs and services they need.

HMG is not a service delivery program. Rather, it is a model — with a proven track record — that assists states in identifying at-risk children, then helping families find those quality programs, from early care to education and family support.

In removing the barriers that families typically encounter as they seek care for their children, the HMG system also improves the efficiency of participating programs statewide. The end result is better outcomes for our at-risk children, our families, and our communities.

The Help Me Grow system is currently being replicated in a number of states with plans to expand nationwide.
