The Infant Development Program provides a resource for the identification and prevention of developmental disorders during the earliest stages of life.
The Infant Development Program offers developmental screenings in Spanish and English for all children up to 36 months of age.
Comprehensive screenings include assessment of skills in the following areas:
- Language
- Cognition
- Motor Development
- Social-Emotional Development
- Self-Help Skills
Families are provided immediate feedback at the time of the screening as well as a written report with referrals for follow-up services if needed, developmental information, and ideas for how to foster children’s developing skills at home.
Free screenings are conducted at the Bachman Lake Branch of the Dallas Public Library (located at 9480 Webb Chapel Rd) as well as on-site with various agencies in the Bachman Lake neighborhood.

The Center for Children and Families offers weekly “Juega Conmigo” (Play with Me) sessions, which are designed to directly foster the cognitive, language, physical, emotional, and social development of infants and toddlers.
Our bilingual Developmental Specialists facilitate play activities in Spanish with parents and their infants and toddlers using toys, music, and movement. We also share information about child development, how to promote growth through play activities at home, and make appointments for free individual screenings of the children’s development.
"Juega Conmigo" (Play with Me) sessions are currently offered on Thursdays from 10am-11:30am on a drop-in basis in the Bachman Lake Branch of the Dallas Public Library (located at 9480 Webb Chapel Rd). The program is open to the public and free of charge.
Beginning in April 2012, Juega Conmigo will be adding a second class on Thursdays and the schedule will be 10am-11:15 for the first class, then 11:45-1pm for the second class. Both classes will be at the Bachman Lake public library.
