Sparkler Use Continues to Grow



Fall is a busy time for ASQ developmental screenings. Help Me Grow is seeing a high volume of ASQs submitted every day. To meet this demand, HMG has added a bilingual developmental screening specialist to the team. We are committed to serving providers and families as we work to ensure every Ohio child gets the best possible start in life. Thank you for your support.

When you have a large number of children in your program, how do you find information for a specific child?


Look no further than the "Children" tab!

 

1) Navigate to your Sparkler Dashboard and click on the Children tab.

 
 


2) Search by the child's name. Type the name and click on the magnifying glass.

 
 

3) Click on the child's name to see their specific details.

 


You will be able to see a variety of information related to the child's activity in Sparkler, including:

 

History of Completed

ASQ Screenings and Results

 
 

Play Activity history

 


You will also be able to see photos the family has uploaded to their Sparkler Digital Scrapbook:


If the family answered the Learning Profile Questions, you will be able to see the responses they provided:



Finally, you can see the language the family selected to use when accessing the Sparkler: Play for Parenting app.


Sparkler is available in five languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, French, and Arabic.

 

How are you using Sparkler and your Sparkler dashboard?


We'd love to hear about a strategy that's worked well for you and your families.
