I looked forward to these visits, both as a check in for my children (and a time to learn about them for me) but also as a check in for me as a parent – am i feeling normal things, is this okay to do, how can I problem solve this, and just plain old healthy venting!

Thank you so much! I have always struggled with dealing with emotions in healthy ways, so having these strategies will be very useful in me in my daily life. [from SMART teen class]
One of the most important things that i have earned was to pay attention to any signs of stress so that i can handle it as soon as possible before it gets to be to much. [from SMART teen class]
The Developmental Screeners were always helpful, empathetic, and understanding of our position at various challenging stages.
The screener took time to thoroughly address all my questions and to include all of my son’s caregivers so it felt like a collaborative effort. I felt like my concerns were heard. [parent from developmental screening program]
