MINNESOTA CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL

DEVELOPMENTAL WHEEL
|
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).
