Project Coordinator

Stanford University is seeking a full-time Project Coordinator to assist in participant recruitment and enrollment for the Ayudando Latinos A Soñar Promoting Resilience at the Intersection of Medical care and Early Start (ALAS PRIMES). The project aims to identify children at risk for developmental delays and to provide direct one-on-one training and assistance to families as they are referred for developmental and general services. With the aid of ALAS PRIMES, activated and prepared families will connect to their Regional Center, Family Resource Center, other critical community based resources, and any additional medical care.

The Division of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics at Stanford School of Medicine is a nationally recognized and experienced interdisciplinary team of pediatricians, nurses, and psychologists, with access to social workers, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists within Stanford Medicine Children's Health. We have an established relationship with ALAS, including an ongoing community-embedded DBP telehealth clinic that supports families identified by ALAS staff as having need for DBP services. We also have relationships with clinicians at Federally Qualified Health Centers in Santa Cruz County who perform routine developmental screening and surveillance. The Family Care Advocates who are bilingual/bi-cultural or from marginalized communities will expand our capacity to serve children and families at a critical juncture in their journey towards identification and treatment of developmental delays.
