Follow Along Program
Babies and young children grow and learn at their own rate. Some children, though, need special help to grow up healthy and learn skills such as sitting, walking, or talking. The Follow Along Program can help parents know if this is true for their child. The Follow Along Program is a good way to learn about your child’s health and development. It is a fun way to get ideas about what to teach and at what age to teach it. The program provides an easy way to find out about other services you may want for your child and offers a simple way to ask questions about how your child is hearing, moving, growing, and acting. There is no cost to participate, and the program is available for children from birth up to 36 months of age.
