Do you have questions about your child’s Development? Would you like to know how you could support your child’s  development and know what they will be doing next? The FRC offers free developmental screenings! Due to the pandemic, we are currently offering these virtually via Zoom or in our space at Gilead Hill Elementary.

These screenings are for children ages 4 months to 48 months, using the Ages and Stages questionnaire. Through playing with your child and speaking to you, we will look at your child’s development in the areas of language, fine and gross motor skills, social/emotional, and problem solving. We can offer feedback to parents or caregivers and suggestions to further your child’s development. The screening takes about an hour, and is confidential.

If you would like your child to be screened, or have any questions, please contact Becky Murray at 860-228-0871 or through email at BeckyM@ahmyouth.org.

The AHM Family Resource Center offers home visits for families living in Andover, Hebron, or Marlborough and Columbia with a child between the ages of birth and five. We utilize curriculum from the National Parents as Teachers program.

Home Visits provide families with information about child development through observation, activities, talking to parents, and play. The curriculum, which is tailored to the age and developmental stage of each child, helps parents understand their child’s behavior, what to expect next, and gives parents strategies for challenges they are facing in parenting.

Due to the pandemic, Home Visits are being offered virtually via Zoom or in our space at Gilead Hill Elementary. For more information please call Becky Murray or Jahnna Sieckowski at 860-228-0871 or email at BeckyM@ahmyouth.org or jahnnas@ahmyouth.org.
