How Help Me Grow is Impacting developmental readiness Over 11,567 Screenings in 2014-2015 Grant Year Total of 133 Community Partners as of last Grant Year (Already
increased that number by 15 in first half of Q1 of 2015-16) Help Me Grow Data findings based on last year’s screening
results show 56% of Wayne Co. Children Screened were Developmentally On-Track
Able to identify developmental risk by zip code based on screenings collected, narrowing the outreach focus. Collectively, in county, learned that 21% of screenings are indicating Strong Risk for Delay and 23% indicating Potential Risk for delay
Outcome #2: Children are healthy, thriving and developmentally on track from birth to third grade
Data findings indicate a significant difference in the overall scores from the initial screens and subsequent screens. The result indicates the risk of delay decreases over time when children are screened again at a later age interval. (Oakland University HMG Regional Evaluation Report, September, 2015)
Additionally, the data demonstrate an increase in the number of children progressing on track when screened again later at a different age interval (Oakland University HMG Regional Evaluation Report, September, 2015)
Outcome #2: Children are healthy, thriving and developmentally on track
from birth to third grade
