Share Your Child's Summary
Share your child’s Summary, strengths, and any concerns, with your healthcare or childcare provider and teacher. Review the Summary and discuss ways to follow up together.
Your child’s Summary is not automatically sent to anyone, so you decide if you would like to share. Here’s how:
To share your child’s Summary by email:
- Email the Summary to yourself
- From your email, choose Forward, enter the recipient
- Make sure the Summary PDF is attached
- In the body of the email, write something so they know why you are sending it
- Send
Other ways to share:
- Download and print the Summary PDF or paper copy
- Take screenshots of your Summary PDF and text from your phone/device
Reviewing your child’s Summary with your healthcare or childcare provider is a great conversation starter. Help them get to know your child, your family routines, and goals.
Catch Concerns Early
When follow-up and support can make a difference.
You can use OSP to check your child’s development every 4 to 6 months. Continue to practice skills and check progress.
If you have concerns at any time, contact your local Oregon Early Intervention provider. Talk with a developmental specialist and request a free development checkup. Let them know your child's ASQ and ASQ:SE results and any concerns you may have. You do not need a professional referral.
