Important Notice Out-of-State Developmental Wheel Orders

As of August 8, 2011, the Minnesota Department of Health is no longer able to fill out-of-state requests for the Developmental Wheel. We apologize for this inconvenience.

We are exploring options to offer the wheel in a print-ready format with instructions, so that providers may print the wheel individually. Please check back for updated information.

The content of the Developmental Wheel is available in English, Somali, Hmong, Spanish.

In continuous child find efforts to reach Minnesota children and families on the importance of early childhood intervention, the ever-popular "Developmental Wheel - A Guide to Your Child's First Five Years" has been translated into Spanish, Hmong and Somali.

The wheel describes some of the development children have by the time they reach certain ages (birth to five), as well as related nutrition, hearing, speech and language, and vision information. A new component is the list of things that families can do to help their child grow, learn and stay healthy and safe. It's a practical guide to help families understand their child better, and let them know who to contact for answers to questions or concerns they may have.

The wheels were designed to be affixed with a label indicating the county(ies) or region your early childhood intervention program covers and the telephone number of the local early intervention contact (central-point-of-contact).
