What can the Infant Child Monitoring Project offer you?

• Its free to ALL children (ages Birth to 3 years) who are living in Whitman County
• Help monitor infant or young child’s development in the areas of communication, motor, social, problem-solving, and self-help skills.
• Provide information about typical development and activities that you can do with your child to promote healthy growth and development.
• Detect any areas of concern early on so that intervention services, if indicated, can begin early and can be of maximum benefit to your child.
• Provide "peace of mind" about your child’s development.

How does it work?

• Contact Early Learning Services to enroll your child in the monitoring project.
• You will be mailed the "Ages & Stages" Questionnaire that most closely matches your child’s current age.
• Complete the questionnaire items with your child on your own- or if you prefer, a child development professional will come to your home.
• Trained staff then score the completed questionnaire and you are provided feedback about your child’s developmental progress.
• If a concern is indicated in any area of development, you will be contacted to discuss appropriate early intervention services-if you so choose.

This is an outreach program supported by:

• The Washington State Infant Toddler Early Intervention Project
