Program Highlight: Help Me Grow at CRIS

Help Me Grow is a family focused program that supports the development of children from birth until their third birthday and links parents with other local sources of support.  When a family is found eligible for the program they are linked with a service coordinator that will help monitor the development of their child and link the family to community services and other activities offered by Help Me Grow.  The Help Me Grow program at CRIS addresses the needs of families with limited English Proficiency.  Our staff includes bilingual English/ Spanish service coordinators and a multilingual English/Somali/Arabic service coordinator to address the needs of the limited English proficiency clients that we serve.If you have concerns about your child’s development or if they are not meeting their developmental milestones you can call 614-227-9860 to be linked with a Service Coordinator who will guide you through the screening and evaluation process.  Your child will receive a developmental evaluation and if the child qualifies they will be linked to the proper services that will address their developmental needs.  Our services are free of charge.La'Tonya Castro, Help Me Grow Program Manager
