Grow Along With Me Project Outcomes

 The Grow Along with Me Project has a strong focus on evaluation and outcomes. As part of the funding requirements a detailed regional evaluation plan was developed. This plan focused on both at both utilization information (numbers of ASQs completed, referrals, training session delivered, etc.) and the impact of the project on parents and service providers.

Dr. David Gregory, from the School of Health Sciences at the University of Lethbridge is supporting the project as the evaluation advisor. Further, there is a provincial evaluation that is focused on the activities of the four projects that are funded.
