Pediatric Strategies offers multi-level support to the pediatric community to implement best practice models for developmental screening, promoting early literacy, and supporting parents to optimize the school readiness of young children in the community.
Pediatric Strategies include:
Assuring Better Child Health and Development Program (ABCD)
are designed to assist parents to explore their own child’s developmental progress and introduce conversation about their child’s development with their pediatric provider. The checklists include developmental tips and suggestions for activities families can use at home.
Quarterly Pediatric Trainings promote and raise awareness of behavioral and mental health issues of families with young children. F5AC offers education, information and practical resources for providers who work with families.
Reach out and Read supports pediatric providers to give a book to every family at each well child visit. This strategy uses the influence of medical providers to encourage families to read to their child daily from infancy to promote literacy within the home.
