Attention Parents: Worcester Family Partnership is offering you the opportunity to participate in a free screening for your child. The Ages & Stages Questionnaire will only take a few minutes and will give you important information about your child’s development.  For more information, please call (508) 799-3136.

If you have ever had concerns about your child’s development, you are not alone. Parents may not be child development specialists, but they are the experts on their child—and research has shown that parents’ concerns are accurate predictors of developmental delays. If you have a concern about your child’s development, trust your instincts. Even if it turns out that your child is experiencing a typical variation in his or her individual development, it’s better to be sure. The best thing you can do is raise your concern with a professional who is familiar with child development. Studies have shown that effective, early intervention can make a dramatic difference in the lives of children with developmental delays and disorders.
