NARRATIVE SECTION
Prepared by: Southwest Human Development
1. Briefly describe the organization’s mission, history and goals.
Founded in 1981, the mission of Southwest Human Development is to strengthen the foundation Arizona’s
children need for a great start in life. Our vision is a positive future for every child. The agency strives to help
children establish a healthy foundation by preventing problems before they arise, or when they already
exist, intervening as early and effectively as possible. Recognizing a child’s earliest experiences and
relationships establish the foundation for all future development, Southwest Human Development’s more
than 40 comprehensive programs focus on young children – ages birth to 5 – and their families in the areas
of child development and mental health, Easterseals disabilities services, early literacy and Head Start, child
welfare, and professional development and training. Each year, the agency serves about 135,000 children,
and their families. Learn more at www.swhd.org.
2. If the applying organization is a non-municipal or a non-profit 501c, please describe your
relationship with Arizona municipalities including past and present support, whether it be
through partnership, collaboration, in-kind contributions, grants, tax-based funding or
other. Describe the supporting municipality’s role in this project. If the applying
organization is a municipality governmental sub-division please enter the text “Not
applicable.”
Southwest Human Development has a long history of collaboration with a wide range of community
partners, and has well‐established working relationships with many organizations serving young children
and families. Here is a sampling of our engagement with Maricopa County in recent years:
 In 2009 our Emergent Leader program provided training, technical assistance, mentoring and
consultation for Maricopa County Early Head Start in toddler classrooms at East Valley Institute of
Technology and Compadre High School.
 A contract with Maricopa County Superior Court (FY15 & FY16) to present our New Beginnings Program
provided support for separating and divorcing/divorced parents, and helped them learn and practice
skills to increase positive interactions in the family.
 From 2011 to 2016 our Smart Support program had a contract with Maricopa County to provide mental
health consultation for Maricopa County Head Start to promote the social and emotional development
of all children in care, and to help providers respond to children with behavioral challenges.
 Since 2013 our Nurse‐Family Partnership program has had a contract with Maricopa County to provide
nurse home visiting for women who are having their first baby, from pregnancy until the baby is 2 years
old. This program helps first‐time mothers have a healthy pregnancy and baby, build a strong network of
support, make a safe home for their baby, find ways to continue education and develop job skills, and
set goals for the family’s future and ways to help reach them.

3. Describe the proposed project and planned goals and activities.
Southwest Human Development proposes a partnership with the Gila River Indian Community to present
essential programs for children birth to five years old, and their families. The purpose of this partnership is
two‐fold: 1) to prevent child abuse; and 2) to promote early language and literacy. Southwest Human
Development’s one‐year, $100,000 request seeks support for two signature programs: Birth to Five
Helpline/Fussy Baby, and Reach Out and Read. Both of these programs are directly aligned with a GRIC
funding priority as further described below in Question 4.
BIRTH TO FIVE HELPLINE/FUSSY BABY PROGRAM
Amount Requested $50,000 / Use of Funds: GRIC funds will support professional staff, thereby maintaining
the quality of program services. All Helpline specialists have college degrees, are experienced in early child
development, have extensive additional training, and have achieved Fussy Baby Specialist certification from
the prestigious Erickson Institute of Chicago.
To help Arizona’s parents and caregivers of young children get the answers they need when they need them,
Southwest Human Development offers the Birth to Five Helpline and Fussy Baby program. In the short term,
the program seeks to increase parent/caregiver confidence and competence by providing accurate, up‐to‐
date information and support from highly trained early childhood professionals. In the long‐term, the
program seeks to prevent negative outcomes, including abuse, by providing parents the support and
encouragement they need in the moment that reduces stress and offers concrete strategies for successful
parenting and caregiving.
The Birth to Five Helpline is Arizona’s only toll‐free helpline for parents and caregivers who have questions
about early childhood development. Since young children don’t come with an instruction manual, the Birth
to Five Helpline serves as a critical resource for parents and caregivers of children ages birth to five who
have concerns and are looking for support regarding a wide range of issues. Common topics include:
sleeping, behavior, health and nutrition, safety, toilet training, feeding/eating, fussiness/colic, and general
child development.
Callers to the Birth to Five Helpline talk to a caring, highly‐trained early childhood specialist who provides
supportive listening and sound information about child development, parenting, and caregiving. With an
average call time of 20 minutes, the Helpline specialists are able to listen to the caller’s concerns, explore at
length what may be causing the problem, work with the caller to develop an action plan, and provide much‐
needed reassurance and support. The specialists are also able to connect callers to community resources
and additional support when needed, including Southwest Human Development’s more than 40 programs
and services – providing access to a wide range of early childhood experts. The Helpline operates Mon‐Fri,
8am‐8pm and assistance in English/Spanish is always available. The Helpline can be accessed by phone (1‐
877‐705‐KIDS) or through our website (www.birthtofivehelpline.org). In response to growing demand for
mobile device communications, last year we implemented both text messaging and smartphone app
capabilities.
Sometimes calls are about a baby who cries excessively, is difficult to comfort, and/or has trouble feeding or
sleeping. Inconsolable infant crying is a known risk factor for child abuse, including Shaken Baby Syndrome.
For parents, a fussy baby is exhausting and frustrating. Therefore, the overall goal of the Fussy Baby Program
is to help parents feel more confident in their ability to parent their child, even though they may be having a
difficult time in the beginning. Parents can feel isolated during their child’s first year and tend to worry
about whether they are meeting their child’s needs and are a good enough parent. This program helps them
feel understood and not alone with their concerns.
Page 2 of 7

All Helpline specialists are trained and certified in the Erickson Institute’s Fussy Baby Network® FAN
approach. The specialists work with parents/caregivers to find ways to soothe, care for, and enjoy their
baby. They also offer ways to reduce stress while supporting parents in their role. If the specialist believes it
necessary and appropriate, in‐home visitations are offered to help parents address their issues within their
home setting. There may be several phone or in‐home contacts over the course of several days or weeks.
While phone‐in support is available throughout the state, home visitations are only available in Maricopa
County at this time due to funding limitations.
REACH OUT AND READ
Amount Requested: $50,000 / Use of Funds: At a cost of $6.10 per book, GRIC funds will support the
purchase and distribution of 8,197 age and developmentally appropriate books to be distributed to low
income children through Southwest Human Development’s Reach Out and Read program.
Reach Out and Read is an evidence‐based national model that promotes the development of early language
and literacy skills in young children. The program has four components:
1. Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals are trained in strategies to promote early
language and literacy in young children. At well child visits, they advise parents on the importance of
reading and give them “prescriptions” for reading daily with their child, starting in infancy.
2. In literacy‐rich waiting rooms, parents and children are exposed to the pleasures and practices of
looking at books together.
3. At every well‐child visit, children receive a new, developmentally‐appropriate book to take home and
keep.
4. Gently‐used books are made available in the waiting room for sick visits, siblings, and other children to
take home and keep.
Southwest Human Development’s Reach Out and Read coordinator provides training for pediatric primary
care providers at participating sites. Training includes strategies to promote early language and literacy in
young children, how to use the books as a developmental screening tool, the latest research in language and
literacy development, and best practices for program implementation. The coordinator works one‐on‐one
with each clinic’s on‐site coordinator to ensure ongoing program quality. She also offers ideas, materials,
and resources to help clinics create and maintain literacy‐rich environments in their waiting rooms, exam
rooms, on bulletin boards, and in other common areas. These include informational displays with resources
for parents and reading areas with books for children. We also provide gently‐used books for clinic waiting
rooms, received by donation from community supporters. The Reach Out and Read coordinator conducts a
site visit every quarter and performs a quality assessment annually, for a minimum of five visits to every
clinic each year. The Reach Out and Read program currently partners with 71 pediatric clinics throughout
Maricopa County, serving over 92,000 children and their families annually.
4. Describe how the proposed project satisfies one or more of the priority funding areas
identified by the Gila River Indian Community.
The Birth to Five Helpline/Fussy Baby program is aligned with the PUBLIC SAFETY funding priority in that it
1) is an early intervention service that addresses parental concerns before abuse occurs, thereby preventing
a potential crime; and 2) is an educational program that enhances parental/caregiver knowledge and
understanding of their child’s specific developmental stage and provides resources to support them. The
program is widely marketed in the community through a variety of means, thereby promoting public and
individual safety.
Page 3 of 7

Reach Out and Read is aligned with the EDUCATION funding priority in that it 1) encourages parents to help
their children develop early language and literacy skills that are critical to future academic success; 2)
enhances their general knowledge and understanding of how to achieve this; and 3) provides resources to
support them in their role as their child’s first teacher.
5. Identify the needs/problems to be addressed, target population and number of people to be
served by the project.
BIRTH TO FIVE HELPLINE/FUSSY BABY PROGRAM
According to 2014 census data, there are over 430,000 children under the age of five living in Arizona, who
are joined by approximately 86,000 newborns each year. It is estimated that 15‐25% of healthy human
infants spend 30‐50% of their waking time in states of unexplained fussiness and inconsolable crying. These
infants cry excessively, are difficult to comfort, and/or have trouble feeding or sleeping. Inconsolable infant
crying is a known risk factor for child abuse. For parents, caring for a fussy baby is exhausting and
frustrating. As one parent said, “I have a whole new understanding of how someone could shake a baby.”
These families are asked to assess their stress level at that moment, and they often say on a scale of 1‐5,
they are at a 5 (highest). Some even say “10!” Unrealistic expectations are identified as a risk factor for
harsh parenting and child abuse, while greater knowledge of child development is associated with more
sensitive parenting and children with fewer behavior problems.
The Helpline is available to all Arizona parents and caregivers, without regard to location, ethnicity,
language, age, income or any other criteria. During the grant period we project the Helpline/Fussy Baby
Program will respond to about 5,000 calls from parents/caregivers, of which about 1,200 (24%) will be about
a fussy baby. Many families with a fussy baby required several phone calls over the course of several days or
weeks, and we project 75 in‐home visitations will be conducted with these families. As a helpful
supplement, the specialists can mail information on many topics including developmental stages and
milestones, behavior, safe sleep, bedtime tips, discipline, toilet training, early language and literacy, and
suggested book lists. Hundreds of referrals for additional information or services are made, including child
care, health, mental health, and disabilities services, crisis intervention, poison control, basic needs such as
housing, food and clothing, and much more.
REACH OUT AND READ
The need for a program like Reach Out and Read is great. According to the Arizona Department of
Education, 40% of the 430,000 Arizona children under age 5 are unprepared to enter school because they do
not have the early language and literacy skills they need to be successful. According to the Annie E. Casey
Foundation’s 2016 Kids Count Data Book, a stunning 70% of 4th graders in Arizona’s public schools were
reading below proficient levels in 2015.
One of the obstacles to healthy development is growing up without books. According to the U.S.
Department of Education, 66% of low‐income families have no books at all in their homes for their children.
Children who enter school without previous exposure to books are typically 12‐14 months below national
norms in language and pre‐reading skills and struggle to catch up. Reading difficulty can contribute to school
failure and prevent a child from reaching his or her full education, social, and economic potential.
Furthermore, while less than one‐third of children from low‐income families have access to high‐quality
early education programs, 90% of all children see a medical provider at least annually for a check‐up, the
next most common contact with a formal service system.
Children growing up without books in their homes, children with limited English proficiency, and children
whose parents have low literacy skills are particularly at risk for reading failure, which is highly correlated
with school failure. Through Reach Out and Read, we are able to serve these children and families. During
the grant period we project the Reach Out and Read program will serve approximately 92,000 low income
children and their families, in collaboration with our 71 pediatric clinic partners throughout Maricopa County.

6. Define the project as a new or continuing program.
Both programs have been in continuous operation since being established. The Birth to Five Helpline started
in 2005 (with the Fussy Baby component added in 2007), and Reach Out and Read in 1998.
7. Provide a brief timeline including start and finish dates. Indicate if the timeline is flexible.
These are continuing programs of Southwest Human Development. Our fiscal year is July 1 to June 30. If
awarded, grant funds will be expended within one year of receipt as indicated above in Question 3, and in
the budget and budget narrative submitted with this request.
8. Identify other organizations, partners or funders participating in the project and their
roles.
Southwest Human Development is dedicated to working in collaboration with other agencies and
organizations to help ensure that the needs of Arizona’s youngest, most vulnerable children are met. The
agency looks for unmet needs and, with the community, seeks to develop programs that meet those needs
or to bring proven, national models, modified to meet Arizona’s unique needs, to the state. Our
collaborative partners include First Things First, Easterseals, several school districts, Arizona tribal
communities, government entities at the local, state, and national level, and many national programs
including Reach Out and Read, Raising A Reader, Healthy Families, Fussy Baby Network®, Nurse‐Family
Partnerships and many others. Program‐specific collaborations are as follows:
BIRTH TO FIVE HELPLINE/FUSSY BABY PROGRAM
The Helpline/Fussy Baby program is the only program of its kind in Arizona. Its success is enhanced by its
many collaborations in the community. These include the national Fussy Baby Network®, First Things First,
Prevent Child Abuse Arizona, American Academy of Pediatrics Arizona Chapter, Association for Supportive
Child Care, local employers and military partners who promote the program as a benefit, and many others.
The program is a vital community resources, and is broadly marketed throughout the state. Information is
distributed as brochures and magnets, in English and Spanish, through hospitals, pediatricians’ offices and
clinics, Head Start centers, through community outreach activities, and in new parent kits that accompany
every newborn home from the hospital. The program’s funding breaks down as follows: 34% First Things
First contract / 66% Contributions.
REACH OUT AND READ
Our primary collaborators in the Reach Out and Read program are the 71 participating pediatric clinics
throughout Maricopa County. The providers who deliver the program are volunteers who participate
because they want the very best outcomes for their young patients. Another key collaborator is the
American Academy of Pediatrics Arizona Chapter which helps recruit clinics into the program and facilitates
the statewide Reach Out and Read Arizona Coalition, of which Southwest Human Development is a member.
We also work in partnership with Read On Arizona, a statewide, public/private partnership of agencies,
philanthropic organizations, and community stakeholders committed to creating an effective continuum of
services to improve language and literacy outcomes for Arizona’s children from birth to 8. Program funding
breaks down as follows: 6% First Things First contract / 17% Clinic Billings / 77% Contributions.
Page 5 of 7

9. Would you be able to implement the proposed plan if your organization received partial
funding for this project?
Given the breadth, depth and impact of the proposed partnership, Southwest Human Development is
hopeful the GRIC will support this proposal at the level requested, although either of the programs would be
able to operate with partial funding.
BIRTH TO FIVE HELPLINE/FUSSY BABY PROGRAM
The total program budget is $295,510 of which $242,521 (82%) represents salaries and benefits. As stated
previously, the Helpline specialists are highly educated, trained and experienced early childhood
professionals who ensure the program offers the highest level of knowledge, support and guidance for the
parents/caregivers calling. A grant award at any level will be used for this purpose.
REACH OUT AND READ
During the grant period, the projected cost for the purchase of the books distributed to children in this program
is $237,256. The participating clinics are projected to pay $75,000 (32%) as their financial contribution for
books, for a balance of $162,256 in other funding needed. The requested $50,000 represents 31% of that
remaining balance, and would supports the purchase and distribution of 8,197 books to children. A grant at any
level will be used for this purpose.
10. Describe your plan for project sustainability beyond the grant period. If this is a
program/project previously funded by the Gila River Indian Community describe efforts
made towards the previously described sustainability plan.
While Southwest Human Development has an operating budget of over $65 million, 88% of that represents
federal, state and First Things First contracts for targeted programs and services, primarily Head Start and
Child Welfare. By comparison, the budgets for the two proposed programs represent less than 1% each of
the agency’s overall budget, with substantial portions of program revenue raised through philanthropy (66%
for Helpline/Fussy Baby, and 77% for Reach Out and Read). Southwest Human Development practices a
robust and comprehensive fund development plan that include individual giving, direct mail, special events,
corporate, foundation, and CDBG grants, sponsorships, community outreach, and volunteer engagement.
Your support is vital to maintaining these services for Arizona.
11. Describe your plan to document progress and results.
Southwest Human Development is committed to ongoing program evaluation. As a state and federally
funded and licensed organization, the agency meets rigorous quality performance standards. All agency
programs, whether publicly or privately funded, have an evaluation component to measure progress and
outcomes; this information is used to make program modifications as needed. Southwest Human
Development routinely relies upon objective outside evaluators to develop and implement new program
evaluation tools.
BIRTH TO FIVE HELPLINE/FUSSY BABY PROGRAM
The criteria for success for the Helpline is to be supportive, responsive and helpful for parents/caregivers
who call with questions and concerns about their child. The Helpline uses a follow up phone survey
conducted by a staff member or trained volunteer. Using a scale of 1‐5 (5‐Strongly Agree), a series of
questions are asked including: Was the Helpline helpful? Was the specialist responsive to your specific
questions and concerns? Was the specialist respectful and supportive? What did you find most helpful? Did
the specialist follow through as agreed? Were your ideas included when deciding what you needed? We also
give respondents the opportunity to share comments. Recent survey results show 98% of callers rated the
Helpline as a 4 or 5. Callers indicated greater confidence in their parenting as a result of their Helpline call
and that they would recommend the Helpline to family and friends.
Page 6 of 7

Criteria for success for the parents/caregivers served by the Fussy Baby program is a reduction in stress and
an increase in competence and confidence in their parenting/caregiving skills. These changes have a critical
impact on the baby and his or her ability to grow and thrive, and are associated with reductions in the risk of
child abuse. Families that receive in‐home visitation with a Fussy Baby specialist also are surveyed with a
follow up call after receiving the service. Recent Fussy Baby survey results show that parents feel increased
confidence as a parent, they understand their baby better, are more skilled at managing the specific
problem they had, feel less worried, and are able to enjoy parenting more after their experience with the
Fussy Baby Program. Parents rated their stress levels after their involvement with the Fussy Baby Program as
very little or none, compared to high or extremely high when first talking with a Fussy Baby specialist.
Lastly, process evaluation continuously tracks the number of calls to the Helpline/Fussy Baby Program, types
of questions, type and number of materials sent, referral sources offered, and home visitations conducted.
Evaluation data is compiled and reviewed quarterly. Results are used to inform our work and make changes
necessary for continuous quality improvement.
REACH OUT AND READ
Southwest Human Development’s primary goal with Reach Out and Read is to ensure successful
implementation of and fidelity to the research‐based Reach Out and Read program model within all
participating clinics. This ensures reliable national outcome and evaluation results are achieved for the local
population. Specific outcomes are as follows:
1. Pediatric clinics participating in Reach Out and Read will provide parents at each well‐child visit with
developmentally appropriate early language and literacy activities that they can do with their
children as part of regular routines.
2. Pediatric clinics participating in Reach Out and Read will provide one new developmentally
appropriate book to each child to take home after each well‐child visit for patients, thereby
increasing the child’s easy access to books.
Two assessment tools are used to measure and document Reach Out and Read progress and results: the Site
Observation Scale, developed by the National Reach Out and Read Center but modified and enhanced by
Southwest Human Development, and the Quality Rating Assessment, developed by Southwest Human
Development as a means to further measure and ensure adherence to the program model.
For the fiscal year ended 6/30/16, a total of 82,579 children and their families were served by the Reach Out
and Read program through the participating pediatric clinics. Results from the 2015‐2016 Quality Rating
Assessment (performed annually) and Site Observation Scale (performed quarterly) reveal that all clinics
scored in the 90‐100 percentile across all domains indicating high‐quality program delivery.
12. Indicate any application to and/or awards made by a tribe other than the Gila River Indian Community
for state shared revenues for this and any other project for the past five (5) years. If this information is
included in a separate attachment, please indicate that here.
