What if a 15-minute screening could change a child’s entire learning journey? 😲That’s exactly what happens at our Books, Balls, and Blocks events—where families walk in with questions and walk out with answers, support, and next steps.

COMMENT "BBB" and we'll send you more details about taking a screening.

Thank you to our friends at Port St Joe - Corinne Costin Gibson Memorial Public Library for hosting us yesterday! It's always a pleasure to partner with our local libraries.
