HELP® is a widely-used, family-centered, curriculum-based assessment for use by professionals working with infants, toddlers, young children, and their families: As a curriculum-based assessment, HELP is not standardized; it is used for identifying needs, tracking growth and development, and determining "next steps" (target objectives). It offers play-based activities and intervention strategies for each skill.
HELP is comprehensive and developmentally sequenced -- covers 685 skills (birth-3 years) and 622 skills (3-6 years) in the six domains: Cognitive, Language, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Social, and Self-Help.
HELP promotes a cross-disciplinary, integrated approach - used by physical, speech, and occupational therapists, early childhood educators, infant specialists, psychologists, social workers, and nurses.
HELP focuses on the whole child -- the importance of supportive environments and interactions, building on strengths and providing activities for working on specific needs.
Each skill has a unique ID number for easy cross-reference across all the HELP products.
