New video on early childhood screening and referral process

Communicating with Families During the Child Screening Process (video) is a new resource to help primary care providers, pediatricians, care coordinators and other professionals use effective communication strategies with families throughout the early childhood screening process. Developing partnerships with families during routine well-child visits is critical to ensure early and accurate identification for further assessment.

The video includes:

  • · Suggestions for ways the family can help support their child’s healthy development between screenings
  • · Recommendations for referral and follow up
  • · Links to early screening and intervention resources.
  • DHS created the video in partnership with the University of Minnesota Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) and Bright Works (formerly Metropolitan Educational Cooperative Service Unit).

    To access this video and others, refer to Minnesota Autism Resource Portal – Videos and podcasts.
