Developmental Screenings

Periodic developmental screenings will be available by appointment to help you better understand your child’s development and anticipate your child’s needs. These screenings will examine your child’s cognitive, language, fine and gross motor, and social development as well as hearing and vision. After the screening, the educator will share information with you about how you can continue to support your child’s growth and development in these areas.

Personal Home Visits

A certified Parent Educator will come to your home by appointment for personal visits for families with children ages birth through three. Personal visits are designed to individualize the program for you and your child. During these visits we will partner with you to provide information and activities for you and your child to enjoy. We will assess your child’s development and find ways for you to support continued growth. You will receive written material about your child’s development and simple activities that you can do with your child. You will have the chance to create and achieve goals for you, your child and your family.

Group Connections

Group Connections are events that are designed to help you gain new insights into your child’s development and behavior, to get to know other parents in our community, and to have fun with your child. Information about upcoming Group Connection events will be made available on our website. Information will also be emailed out to families who are enrolled in the Liberty MO PaT program.
