Volunteers Needed

The Artz Center for Developmental Health & Audiology needs volunteers to be videotaped playing with their child as part of a project to advance the Behavioral Health Screen™ (BHS™). With your help, the BHS™ may one day help many parents of young children by offering a quick and inexpensive method for doctors and family professionals to monitor the healthiness of family relationships.

Do you have 15 minutes?

Would you like to give your time to help improve the care of other families?

Is your child passing through any of the following ages?

  • 5 to 7 months
  • 10 to 14 months
  • 16 to 20 months
  • 22 to 26 months

Dr. David Willis will view and edit your playtime film and if you are interested, will follow-up with a personal behavioral-developmental pediatrician’s opinion.
