By calling the toll free number, 1.866.GROW.025, parents, service providers and professionals have a single point of entry into developmental services and parent resources for children, birth through five years of age. Connecting Families to Developmental Services for:

If you are a parent with questions or concerns about your child's behavior, learning or development, please call Help Me Grow at 1.866.GROW.025 You may not hear the words "Help Me Grow" but our children ask us to help them grow everyday. They ask us when they play, when they speak and even when they don't. Our greatest privilege, and our most important job, is to guide them through their growth process. We are here to help them grow. Call if you are...
- Wondering about your child's development, behavior or learning
- Needing support to access developmental services
- Assisting a client, family member or friend seek information about developmental services
- Requesting to have your organization included in the developmental services inventory used for referrals
The Help Me Grow team will...
- Listen to your concerns to help you decide which referrals are right for the needs of your family
- Find services that are appropriate and available for referrals
- Connect you and your child to services
- Follow up to find out if you were connected to a service
Partnering to Build the Network
Through a partnership with 2-1-1 Orange County, the Help Me Grow team uses a shared resource database. By networking with the community, we learn about current developmental services for entry into the resource database. This information is then passed on to our families when they call the toll free #: 1.866.GROW.025
Developmental Surveillance and Screening
Help Me Grow staff are available to offer training and support to primary health care providers wanting to implement routine developmental screening. We support the use of norm-referenced screening tools at well child visits. After a developmental screening, Help Me Grow will connect children to necessary early developmental services.
