For Families

For Families

Help Me Grow is a system of supports for pregnant women, caregivers with new babies, and families with young children, and for children with developmental delays and disabilities.


  • Early Intervention supports families with children birth to age three who have developmental delays or disabilities so that they have the best possible start in life. Early Intervention professionals work with you and your child to identify strengths and needs and address concerns as early as possible with services right where you live, play, and spend your day.
  • Home Visiting supports pregnant women and new parents with the tools and information they need to give their children the best start in life. Support from a Home Visitor can improve pregnancy outcomes and help families prepare for a new baby. Even after the baby is born, Home Visiting can help families learn about feeding, sleep, and how to keep their new baby safe and thriving.


Help Me Grow now offers the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) Online screening for Ohio families with children birth through age five. The screening can help parents understand how their child is developing and whether there are any concerns. Click here or the image above to access the screening tool.
