The HCCT Social Emotional Project aims to provide training and support to child care programs in implementing a developmental screener program. The HCCT-SED Project provides a Child Care Health Consultant to provide training and support during the implementation, developmental screening, and referral process.
The HCCT-SED Project uses the Parent-Completed Ages & Stages Questionnaires – ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2. These universal developmental screening tools are used to identify children who are achieving developmental milestones and those at risk for a developmental delay.
During the 2021-2022 school year, child care centers in the following local workforce board areas are invited to apply to be part of the project:
- Alamo
- Cameron County
- Coastal Bend
- Deep East Texas
- Golden Crescent
- Lower Rio Grande Valley
- Middle Rio Grande Valley
- South East Texas
- South Texas
- Upper Rio Grande Valley
