GROW-Rochester is an interprofessional developmental screening program for children 12 months-5 years of age offered within child care, early education, pediatric and other accessible community-based settings for the purposes of identifying young children’s developmental needs in the areas of: hearing, vision, dental health, speech-language, cognitive, and social-emotional development.

Interprofessional collaborative practice and partnership serve as the foundation for this preventive community-health initiative and have provided authentic pre-professional (i.e., student) and professional (i.e., practicing professional) learning and praxis

opportunities through a focus on whole-child development. Whole-child health and development are monitored and supported through interprofessional practice including the following disciplines: psychology, pediatrics, nursing, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, audiology, early childhood education, vision specialists, social work, and related fields such as marketing, evaluation and project management. Connected through shared purpose, Rochester-based colleges, child-serving organizations, policy-oriented organizations and advocacy-focused organizations representing multiple disciplines of practice have established and maintained deep interprofessional and cross-sector partnerships serving more than 1,500 children annually in the Rochester, NY community. The purpose of this presentation is first to detail the cross-sector GROW model and explain how interprofessional learning opportunities across the allied health and related professions are meaningfully embedded. Further, the presentation will illustrate the power of partnership in response to COVID-19 thus ensuring that children and families across the Rochester, NY community have access to tele-screening that further engaged the music therapy discipline.
