Thrive Training Equips Early Childhood Programs With Child Development Tools

Apr 3, 2018 | UA News

Are you able to correctly arrange the following child development milestones?
 
1. Can correctly name at least one picture (i.e. ball, kitty, cup) when it is pointed to and is asked, “What’s this?”
2.    Makes cooing noises such as “ooo”
3.    Answers questions such as, “What do you do when you are tired?” or “What do you do when you are hungry?”
4.    Says a word like “Mama” or “Dada”.
 
In March 16, 20 leaders and staff from local early childhood programs that participate in UA’s Thrive initiative were introduced to the Ages and Stages Developmental Screening process and discovered how this tool helps caregivers learn more about their child’s development and identify developmental delays so they can receive the support they need.
 
Additionally, participants were trained on how to administer, score and sensitively share results from the screening questionnaires.
