About Help Me Grow Brevard
Help Me Grow Florida is a comprehensive, integrated statewide system designed to address the need for early identification of childhood developmental and behavioral concerns. As a branch, Help Me Grow Brevard focuses on accessing the needs of local children and works to connect their families to community-based services.
Help Me Grow Brevard’s support is confidential and although the focus is on early childhood, support is available to children up to 18 years old. The organization’s primary services include:
- Free developmental screenings for children up to five and a half years old, without waitlists or income limits.
- Activities that support health, growth, and learning.
- Community resources, from parenting classes to food pantries.
- Referrals for evaluation and early intervention services.
On top of these services, Help Me Grow Brevard will ensure families are matched with providers that meet their insurance and income boundaries. The organization will also help solve any concerns that arise, such as transportation barriers.
Last year alone, Help Me Grow Brevard screened 700 children to better determine their needs. If you have any concerns about your child’s development, don’t hesitate to reach out. Help Me Grow Brevard will guide you to the right resources.
