to seeing that ALL children in the southern fifteen counties, (age’s birth to five) are screened for developmental connected to the programs and services they need to help them succeed in school and life.
If potential problems are identified, connecting the child to specialized programs and services is essential to promoting their optimal outcomes. The Southern Illinois Screening Collaborative, is a cross-section Action Team of the Southern Illinois Coalition for Children and Families, originally convened in early 2014 as part of the state’s Early Learning Challenge Fund’s Innovation Zone Initiative. The original purpose of the Collaborative was to develop and implement a county wide screening effort in Williamson County that included scheduling of screening, policies and procedures for sharing and use of data, recommendations for modifications or changes. Without this coordination children who need services the most, may slip through the cracks. Creating an Integrated, community-wide screening and early detection/child find systems can prevent this from happening.
Increase public and professional awareness of the importance of child development. screening, referrals, and follow up.
Coordinate a cross-sector region-wide screening effort that increases the rates of developmental and social-emotional screening of all children and a central repository/database for tracking screening history and results.
Ensure providers have the tools and skills to recognize children who may be at risk of a developmental delay or behavioral issue and know how to provide the appropriate referrals. Referrals are successfully made to appropriate programs and services for further screening and intervention.
