Family Advisory Group in Ramsey County

Do you live in Ramsey County?
We want you to join the Family Advisory Group for the Developmental Screening project!

What is the Developmental Screening project?

The project aims to increase rates of developmental screening in Minnesota. Developmental screening helps parents understand how their child is growing and developing. During a screening, a screening provider checks on how children move, play, talk, and act with others. The screening results help parents find resources to support their child’s growth and development. For more information on developmental screening, visit HelpMeConnectMN.org.
