How Help Me Grow Works

Help Me Grow helps families and professional navigate and connect to community services. 

Providers and educators can refer a child or family by calling or completing an online referral form. Help Me Grow staff will then contact the parent/caregiver and will also follow up with the referring provider (with parent permission). 

Universal Developmental Screening Registry (UDSR)

The Universal Developmental Screening Registry (UDSR) allows screening results to be securely shared across clinical and community settings to ensure young children are connected to developmental supports. Participating practices and providers are encouraged to access and review developmental screenings completed by early educators, home visitors, and others to inform their surveillance and screening activities during health supervision visits.
